The hotel was nice for a budget stay. The hotel was located just outside the centre but it was still walkable to the main sights or the metro station is nearby. The room was clean but the furnishings had wear and tear. No tea/coffee facilities to make for yourself. Complimentary bottle of water in the room that you could refill at reception. The buffet breakfast was good. The street/area around the hotel did not feel safe walking after dark.

Overall we would definitely stay here again.

Our room was infested with ants. The staff was able to move us to a different room the next day. Otherwise, the location was convenient. Plenty of local eating options. Too bad it rained most of the time we were there. It would be a good spot to stay between cruise arrival and flight home.
The staff was multilingual.

The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. We had an early flight so the hotel offered us a take away breakfast. The breakfast was good with a lot of variety. Very convenient location next to a metro station and a supermarket.
The only complaint was the bed that was so lumpy.
