The room was spotlessly clean upon arrival.
The breakfast fell short of expectations. Several items were missing. Tables were not cleared promptly. I also found the lack of climate control in the room unacceptable. Despite reporting it, I received no resolution..

the hotel location was convenient, being close to a metro station. it made travel around the city simple enough.
the room i booked (a double room) felt cramped and poorly designed. the sink was oddly placed near the bed, and the toilet was so close to the door that it was difficult to maneuver (i knocked my knee on the door a couple of times).
