The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable enough.

The bathroom door was broken. I could not close it at all. The soundproofing was terrible. I heard neighbors sneezing and street noise all night. This.

convenient locationhelpful staffclean roommissing channelslame excusepoor soundproofing

The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to local attractions. The staff was helpful and kind. They provided assistance whenever needed. The room matched the photos on the website. Everything was clean. It was also well kept.

The hotel no longer has English language channels. They are not taking measures to change this. The excuse for this is lame. I believe it is a conscious decision by the management. No corrective measures were taken. The sound proofing is not good.
