Excellent Location and Helpful Staff

convenient locationamazing staffgreat servicereception steps
The location was very nice. It was right in front of the subway, with access around the city. All staff members were very attentive. They were also kind. I am grateful for their great service.
There are many steps to reach the reception. I think around fifteen. This made carrying suitcases difficult. This should be highlighted so guests know about this potential issue.
