This is a good modern hotel. It is out of the city centre but the underground station is right beside the hotel. It’s a 15 minute journey in to the city. The hotel provides free access to the pool. There’s a huge outdoor pool and an indoor one. You must wear trunk type swim shorts and swim hats. The breakfast is ok, we had to ask to get items topped up and the flies were a bit of a pain. I would return to this hotel.

Property location is 15 minutes by metro from the city center. Metro station is 260m from hotel which is convenient. Hotel is clean but run down. Bed wasn’t comfortable and beddings are old. If you’re on a budget this hotel would work. Bonus: it has a small kitchen with necessary kitchenware for us to prepare a meal if desire.
