The Mint hotel was nice. The staff was friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. The location was in a good area of the city, but you will need a taxi to really get anywhere. The hotel is located in a residential area, so no real sights to walk to or to conveniently see nearby. There is a middle area of the hotel that is open from the top floor to the bottom. Most room doors face this open corridor area. As a result, there is quit a bit of noise that travels through the corridor and even echos. Because of this, the comings and goings of your fellow hotel guests can get quite loud (and can disturb your sleep), even throughout the night and even from other floors. So, if you are a light sleeper, be advised! That is really the only concern we noticed during our stay at the Mint Hotel.
