The hotel was set up a bit better with more space, but it wasn't like described on the website, felt more like an apartment. It was big and clean, but the price was way too high for the condition of the rooms and lack of amenities like a bar and restaurant. I've found better hotels in the same area for less money, so it just wasn't worth the cost.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms looked pretty and comfy at first sight, but the view of the ugly alley was a disappointment. The service was friendly but seemed to only offer the basics. The location was great for exploring the city, being close to shopping areas and restaurants. The dining options were limited, which was a downside, and the lack of availability was a letdown. Overall, a decent stay with some aspects to consider.
