6.6/10

The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are clean but require constant stair climbing, and the cleanliness might not meet expectations. The service is exceptional but has room for improvement. The location is ideal for exploring various districts, but it may be a bit far from some transit stops. The dining experience is a mix of confusion and high prices for standard breakfast fare.
