"The simple things in life make the difference, a washing machine,a small kitchen, a fridge freezer and a comfortable bed and pillows. The maid was super efficient. The location is great for People's square metro. Lots of verity at breakfast, not the standard western style, however there was something for everyone. I would recommend this hotel. I slept very well."
