5.2/10

Staying at this hotel was quite an experience. The rooms facing the street side were a bit noisy and small, giving a shabby impression. However, the service was top-notch with staff going out of their way to help me book a last-minute tour. The location was convenient to everything, although there were limited dining options nearby. Dining inside the hotel wasn't recommended due to safety concerns. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel provided value for money overall.
