convenient location and helpful staff

helpful staffexcellent locationcomfortable beddingsmall room
the staff was helpful. they always offered a warm smile as i passed by reception. the location is excellent. it's a short walk from the metro. the bedding and pillows are comfortable.
the room was not big enough. there were not enough armchairs or shelves to put clothes, with a total absence of drawers. there was a tiny wall wardrobe with hangers only.

The hotel's location was near the metro, so getting around wasn't a complete disaster.
The noise levels were unbearable at times, especially with thin walls and loud neighbors, this made getting a decent night's sleep almost impossible. I need better soundproofing, not excuses.
