This hotel is right in the heart of one of the busiest and most exciting parts of the city. The location is outstanding, with endless restaurants, shops, attractions, train stations, and bus stops all within walking distance. Many major sights are less than a mile away, and there is even nearby luggage storage for travelers arriving before check-in or departing later in the day.
Some rooms are located at street level and open directly onto the sidewalk. The frosted glass provides privacy, and the insulation is excellent—once the doors are closed, very little street noise can be heard. However, these rooms do not have windows that can be opened.
The rooms were modern and generally well maintained. Some units even had two bathrooms, which was a great feature for groups. The bathrooms were spacious and updated, though there were a few areas where the paint could use some attention.
The in-room washer worked well, but the drying function was not very effective. Because this area is heavily focused on tourism, nearby laundromats were not easy to find.
Keep in mind that this is tourist central, not a typical neighborhood. Grocery stores are scarce, and prices for food and everyday items are noticeably higher than elsewhere in the city.
Overall, this is an excellent choice if your priority is being in the middle of the action with easy access to transportation and attractions.
