My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the metro and close to the airport, making it super convenient. The staff were really friendly and helpful. On the downside, the rooms were quite small and unfortunately had a grimy feel, and the breakfast options were pretty basic. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the upside, the location is superb, just a short walk from the metro station leading to the airport. However, the room I booked as a triple was disappointingly small and only suited for one bed, plus it had some maintenance issues. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, but the dining options left something to be desired, especially for breakfast.

The room was advertised as a triple with three single beds, but it felt cramped, making it only suitable for one bed. The cleanliness was fine, but there were maintenance issues such as broken bathroom lights. No air conditioning warnings, but it got quite hot.
