I had a nice stay at the hotel, which is quite affordable for what you get. The rooms were clean and modern, making for a comfortable experience. The location is convenient as it's close to the metro station, but be warned, it is right under the flight path, so it can get noisy at times. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking to save some money while enjoying some basic amenities.

This hotel offers a convenient spot within easy reach of the city center, so I'd say it can't be beaten for location! The rooms are clean and comfortable, perfect for a restful stay. The dining options were a bit underwhelming, and I wished for a bigger variety during breakfast. Overall, it feels like a solid choice for the price, but the noise from planes overhead was a little distracting at times.

I had a decent stay at this hotel which was really close to the city center, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms were clean and spacious, which was a huge plus. However, the dining options weren't that impressive, especially the breakfast. Despite some noise from planes overhead, the overall value for money felt fair given the amenities available.
