We had a lovely stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located close to many historical sites and tasty food spots. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for our short trip. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our experience enjoyable. However, the location while good, felt a little less vibrant at night, and the dining option was limited but tasty. Overall, it was great value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is really great, close to transportation and plenty of food options, plus the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated and could use some work, and the dining options were limited. Overall, it's a decent place considering the price, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is very conveniently located near the Grand Bazaar and several eateries. The rooms were clean but a bit cramped for two people. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive. I really appreciated the access to a nearby hotel for a great and affordable breakfast, though. Overall, a good budget option, but don't expect spacious accommodations.
