Convenient Stay near University
easy access attentive staff
The location provided easy access to various amenities. I appreciated the proximity to both the metro station and shopping center. Everything was within easy reach. The staff members were consistently attentive and ready to help with directions.
The air conditioning unit was difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature. It either felt too cool or not effective enough, impacting sleep quality.

the hotel is part of a smaller complex of shops. a supermarket, hairdresser, pharmacy, and laundry service are on its top floor. there is barrier-free access to the reception from the parking lot. the room had barrier-free access.
access to the hotel is complicated. it is awkward to get in and out, even with gps assistance. the room was much more cramped than i expected. there was barely enough room to walk around the bed.
