Overall, I found this hotel to be quite a mixed bag. While the rooms were spacious and clean for the price, the lack of some basic amenities like a remote control and telephone was disappointing. The service was friendly but had its moments of indifference. On the bright side, the location offered easy access to the old area and nearby attractions at a reasonable price, making it fairly convenient despite some accessibility issues. It's definitely decent value for money at $39 per night, but it could use some improvements.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a lot of positives, especially with its spacious and clean rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made my experience pleasant. However, I did notice some noise issues and felt that the location could be better, as it was quite difficult to get around without a car.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The location was great, being close enough to the local attractions and nightlife while also feeling safe. The room was big and clean, which was nice, but I found the dining options a bit lackluster, especially at breakfast.

I recently stayed at this hotel and while there were some good highlights, there were a few drawbacks too. The location is convenient for getting around, and the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. However, the room felt quite basic without any extra comforts like soap, and the noise from the street was quite an issue, especially during the day. Overall, it's decent if you're looking for something budget-friendly, but manage your expectations.

The hotel is located in a large capital city and offers a very affordable rate, but I found the overall experience a bit lacking. The rooms were next to a busy street which made them feel quite depressing. The service varied; while some staff were nice, there was an unfriendly encounter at check-in. The location isn't the most convenient if you don't have a car, but the proximity to the airport is a plus. For the price, it could be better in terms of comfort and service.
