The hotel is conveniently located close to the subway and the botanical gardens. The rooms with a shared bathroom were basic but clean. The reception service was efficient and helpful. The dining options, including a barbecue, were satisfactory. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay, though not luxurious.
