“Simple place, it was clean and had extremely friendly and tremendously helpful staff during check-out. Location: the hotel was not far from the highlights and the main metro line and bus stops and train station and bus service. And it's a 10-15 minute walking distance from Shomin, ate there once or twice.”

“The location was quiet and convenient for walking around a cyprus-wood castle. It was located in a residential area short walk to many restaurants, a central office near the station, two tube lines away, and sightseeing locations, the best base for me.”
