It is very close to the city center and easy to get around. The staff of the hotel is very welcoming and the service attitude is good. The downside is that slippers are not provided.

The staff is so friendly. There are a train station and a market. Even in midnight, I didn't feel no danger around the hotel. But, I stayed 4 nights, and no room cleaning and towel change. Except for them, it was comfortable.
