The whole place smells like cigarettes, bathroom had what appeared to be black mold under the bathtub & there was hair on the floor from previous guests. All that being said the bed was really comfy & the area was close to all the fun restaurants but far enough away to be quiet

Partially good accommodation

Excellent staff service and big size of room, but should be improved significantly the cleaning: old stains in many parts of the furniture room and dust, also in the bath (shower top). What a pity because the venue is really awesome!

The beds were not comfortable. Everything is so old and not really functioning well. The room air conditioner hardly cooled the room but the bathroom wall hair dryer from the 1970's got so hot on the handle you finish drying your hair. Definitely should not have "Palace" in its name.
