The breakfast was GOOD and had a great variety of options. I especially enjoyed the fluffy towels, THEY were a real treat. The staff were very cute, especially Murtaza at the front desk, he.

My shower did not drain properly and the bathroom FLOODED, quite unpleasant! I noticed mold in the shower and on the counter. It really needs addressing. A chandelier was missing in my room. There was just a loose wire hanging.

The location was superb. It's near many museums and shops. the staff spoke english very well. They were very solicitous. breakfasts were plentiful. The food was delicious. i found the location perfect, very close to the city center.

I found that the elevator system seemed a little dated. It could use some modernization. the steps in rooms might be a hazard for older guests. these areas could enhance the overall experience.
