The hotel was great. Big windows, great architecture in the hotel and in a really accessible spot. They provided fans as well for the rooms which was great because it doesn't have AC and we went in July. Can be a bit noisy at night time but it quiets down around midnight. To be expected based on the location

Not much need for contact with staff. Facilities very limited. Super location and hygiene/ cleanliness very good .There are no breakfast ( or dining facilities) on site, you have to go across the road for breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful but arrived cold
