8/10 Good
"Lovely stay We arrived around 12pm and received a very warm welcome from the staff. We only planned to leave our luggage, but surprisingly, our room was already ready, so we could relax for a while. The room was a decent size, with a small window, but it was acceptable as the sun was facing the room and we kept the curtains closed most of the time to keep it cool. The manager was very helpful and gave us a local map, showing us the key sights and how to get there. The location is excellent. Although it’s not very close to the metro, Uber is easy to use and many places are within walking distance. The only downside was the AC, which could not be set below 26°C. It was fine at night, but the room felt quite warm during the day. Overall, a very welcoming and enjoyable stay."
