Beautiful room in a nice location. Super convenient to get to all the attractions, but still quiet enough for a good rest. Booked a private room instead of shared room.

Room was immaculate. Bathroom-shower was ingeniously designed. Second day no floor towel was left for after shower, but cleaning service made up my bed and left the room tidy. Loved seeing the eco- room card which regulated the light. Lots of functioning tv channels!
