damp room obstructed view
The room smelled damp upon arrival. I suspect the air conditioning system needs servicing. The fridge was also quite noisy. Replacing it with a quieter model would be a significant improvement. the promised city view was mostly obscured by adjacent buildings. The limited view was a big letdown.

Adequate stay with a few drawbacks

central location friendly staff internet issue noisy air conditioning
The hotel's location is definitely a highlight. It's close to many shops and restaurants (everything is within walking distance). The staff members were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions.
I experienced some issues with the internet . It was only working in the lobby initially (this was quite inconvenient). I also found the air conditioning unit to be quite noisy.
