the breakfast had fresh-pressed juice and warm croissants. they gave a small surprise each day like chocolate or fruit.
The rooms are not very large. I think it's just enough for two people. the height of the ceiling is good though, so the air conditioning works as expected.

Acceptable Stay with Front Desk Issues

public transportationconvenient accesstourist taxinaccurate rate
The location was good with convenient access to public transportation nearby.
The front desk attempted to overcharge me on taxes. I had to show them the rates published on their own website. The quoted tourist tax was also inaccurate, demanding I again show proof of the correct amount. This initial interaction was disappointing.

The location was good with several attractions accessible by foot.
I found the room size to be much smaller than expected. The in-room basin seemed oddly placed and, when used, water splashed easily onto nearby clothes. This was quite inconvenient! I was surprised to be questioned repeatedly about my room number upon re-entering the hotel. This felt rather unwelcoming and detracted from the overall stay.
