the staff was pleasant, and check-in occurred quickly! the room offered a nice morning view from the bed, it was wonderful. the location is excellent, it is only a few minutes walk to the main attraction. i found this especially convenient for early morning visits.

There was only a ceiling fan. It provided limited cooling. the room became quite warm, this impacted comfort . the hotel should consider air conditioning, especially during hotter months.

great locationexcellent servicequiet streetair conditioning

The location is fascinating. A short walk gets one to the iconic Tower. The team provided me with excellent service, accommodating my request to store my luggage before my train's departure. The proximity to key attractions and the railway station makes this a valuable option. I appreciated the quiet street location as well.

The absence of air conditioning was a challenge. Only a ceiling fan provided relief. This made sleeping difficult considering the warmth of the weather.

The hotel location was great. It stood near the tower. It also stood close to restaurants. The team are friendly.

The heat became a biggest problem . I was there in August. It was warm outside. The room had no air conditioning. It only had a large fan above the bed. This did not cool at all. It was relatively loud at night. I could not sleep without it. The accommodation should think about this issue. Temperatures above 30 degrees are not uncommon.
