Liked: Cleanliness
The location is great for walking, but it may prove difficult to get an Uber right there, as they usually stop somewhere close by. The hotel is close by to a lot of shops and restaurants (walking distance). The building itself is older, the room was small, the shower stall was very small, but the hotel and the room were very clean. The staff were very helpful.
