charmed by the hotel's cozy vibe

central location perfect room awesome staff
this location was super awesome, quite central and safe. the room i got was perfect. staff i encountered proved really awesome too. the complimentary fresh water was a bonus.
the absence of food service on the terrace did disappoint a bit. also, some maintenance issues came up. i encountered a slightly wonky faucet in the bathroom.
Dining
8/10
a restaurant exists with a panoramic view, though it was closed when i visited. the terrace has a coffee machine. food service was not available on the terrace or anywhere else at the hotel.

a decent stay

friendly staff convenient location broken heating tired hotel
i stayed four nights. shenar at the reception was very professional and friendly. everyone at the hotel was very nice. there was always a bottle of water, tea and instant coffee in the room. the location is convenient on a quiet block (i liked that a lot).
i found that the hotel looked a little tired. i wish they would fix the heating. also, i didn't appreciate the worn appearance of the hotel in general.
