9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
This hotel is a bit far from the historical center, but getting around is manageable. You'll find a bus stop just a 5-minute walk away, and the subway is about a 15-minute walk. For convenience, there's a food court and a supermarket right next door. The building itself feels a little old, but it's kept very clean and well-maintained. However, one major issue was the noise. During my stay, there was a school trip group, and the walls and door weren't soundproof enough, making it quite loud.
