Despite the friendliness and willingness of the staff, our stay at the hotel was not particularly nice. This is due (as other reviewers, who we failed to listen to, have mentioned) to the noise. We requested a quieter room, and the staff gave us one towards an interior courtyard as opposed to the very noisy street. However, the rooms are not at all soundproof. The noise from the window was not problem; however, everything else was: people vomiting in or otherwise using the toilet, the noise of the kitchen staff at breakfast, anytime the main door opened and was slammed shut, etc. Sleep was minimal. The price we paid for the hotel was quite low, but with extra fees for everything (towels, a/c) plus the noise, the hotel was not worth the trouble.
