"Our welcome was very cold, The lady at the reception was busy organizing a box and did not even acknowledge our presence for a min or two. and then a security staff said "wait". And after a few min someone just gave us the room keys. Room was very clean but they did not keep any towels and we had to ask for it. USB and other charging points were very close to the bed which was great. The hotel location in general doesnt seem to be safe. Its worth the price though. "
