Everyone was very friendly and extremely helpful. The location is prime. Walking distance to many sights and the metro if needed. There are cafés, groceries and shops right outside the door. With that being said, there is also a lot of late night and very early noise associated with those conveniences. Windows must be opened since there is no a/c, fans were provided for each bed. I did have one pet peeve. The smoking section was just outside the front door of the hotel, which was left open, the smoke was was sucked right up the staircase. A few times you could smell it on the 6th floor.
