"I would come back to this hotel. The location is very central and the price is decent. My room did not have air conditioning and it was quite warm but there was a fan. They do charge for early check in and late checkout. After a long journey from the states i had to pay the early check in fee which was a bit annoying because many hotels will waive this if the room is ready. Overall it was fine"
