Central Location and Excellent Breakfast

central locationvarious foodmain attraction
The hotel's location is indeed a standout asset as it is close to main attractions. I was pleased to find many shops and restaurants nearby this hotel. I also appreciated the breakfast area as it was well-organized and maintained with various food options available.
The bathroom was somewhat small, a little difficult to manage toiletries.

The breakfast provided a variety of choices. I observed that the tea and coffee stations are separated, which allows guests to access each more efficiently. It is a good design. I noted that all food items were fresh and abundant.
