Mediocre Stay, Issues with Air Conditioning
convenient locationfaulty air conditioningshort shower glass
The location was pretty convenient, especially for accessing the subway.
The air conditioning barely worked. My room was constantly too warm. I also didn't like the condition of the bathroom shower glass. It was too short, and water sprayed all over the floor during showers. I found these issues frustrating.

The location offers convenient access to major tourist spots. I found numerous food options very close by. The room was spacious and bright. The big bed offered a lot of comfort.
The room's temperature control seemed centralized. I found it hard to adjust it from within the room. I ended up opening a window. There was no refill of the tea and coffee provisions one day. I had to ask for this.
