The hotel had small rooms but was equipped with everything we needed. The two fans provided helped keep the room cool during our late May visit. The service was very friendly and extremely helpful. The location was rather central, just 2-3 minutes away from the metro, and packed with interesting museums and places to eat. The dining options were quite limited, and there were some regional bread choices. Overall, the hotel provided a cozy stay with great service and a central location.
