I had a great stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located just a minute from the metro and within walking distance of many major sights. The room was spacious and well-equipped, but I did miss having a kettle for tea and coffee. The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. However, the dining options could use a bit more variety, especially for breakfast.
