It's a great location, central in the city and next to the metro station. Other reviews mention the street noise. There is definitely lot of street noise due to the location and the age of the building so that was expected, but there is also a lot of noise transfer inside the building. Since the building is old you can hear every noise that is made by the other travelers staying there. I could hear my neighbor's phone conversation with perfect clarity so keep that in mind if you are a light sleeper
