We really liked the hotel. Great overall, except for lack of A/C, and a very small bathroom, and very basic bathroom facilities. Bcs you don’t have an A/C, you have to keep the window open, but the street below is very busy, so the traffic noise wakes you up early. But great location and nice room.

Be aware of choosing the correct Parking Zone outside the hotel. The two closest zones tend to overlap in the EasyPark App. If you choose wrong, you get a ticket
