The location was excellent. I stayed in this hotel 7 years ago, and since my stay it renovated the hotel. Also, I noticed that there were more interesting shops and restaurants all in the walking distance from hotel. The bathroom is classic cruise ship mold. In other words, just image tiny space, but it had everything and it works. I paid great price for the stay, and there were a lot of foreign tourists. I would stay in this place again for the excellent location it is at.

Great location with lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Loved the view from the roof top deck. The hot bath was great and would have been great after a long flight. We'll stay here first next time to get a relaxing hot bath on arrival. Hotel and staff were great with managing luggage before check in and after check out. We'll definitely stay here next time.
