The building has beautiful architecture and a cozy interior. The location is very comfortable and near tourist spots and the metro. This gave good connection to the city. The breakfast was good and staff pleasant.
I paid for a business room on the sixth floor. The bathroom had a horrible smell because of drainage problems. It was a warm summer day without air conditioning, so it was a horrible combo.
