“Having been stranded due to a hotel scam, and ending outside this hotel not knowing where we would sleep! - the lady on reception turned our negative experience into a positive one, she was caring and understanding and fortunately had one room left.”

the location proved very convenient. public transport was close. bakeries, supermarkets, and malls were also nearby. the reception area had a nice bright appearance.

the room's soundproofing was not ideal. thin walls and doors were a problem. neighbors were quite audible. breakfast lacked variety, and the space was small.

the staff let me check in early, nice. free luggage storage was available.

the room reeked of cigarettes. the smell was so intense that the bedding and linens seemed saturated, forcing me to shower both in the evening and again in the morning. also, the photos are misleading (i suspect), since they showcase the updated lobby but not the outdated rooms.
