The location was PERFECT, close to most historical sites. Exploring the city was SOOO convenient. The staff were kind and helpful throughout my stay.
The air conditioning unit was noisy. It PREVENTED me from sleeping soundly. Pillow quality was also poor. I would not describe the rooms as soundproofed. This is not true.
