Decent location and a few issues

central locationappealing designold roomdirty armchair

The location worked perfectly! It was very central and within walking distance of attractions and shops. The hotel's design in the lobby, corridors, room, and restaurant really appealed to me.

I found the room to be old and in very bad condition for a hotel of this supposed calibre. I had trouble closing the window because it was so old, and the armchair looked fit only for the trash. It looked old and dirty. The shower lacked hot water too!
