Noise carries through thin walls from slamming doors and voices, pricing for bottled water is excessive, hot water in the shower is unpredictable!!!

attentive service

train noise

lack of insulation

Attentive service and a charming neighborhood experience.

During my stay, the noise from the nearby trains was unbearable. Trains started running around 4:30 AM, causing multiple disruptions to my sleep. Additionally, my room lacked insulation, meaning I could hear conversations from the lobby clearly. I found there were no coffee makers in the room, and that made mornings particularly tough without a caffeine boost.

train noise

poor insulation

limited breakfast

The antique and colonial architecture adds a unique charm, complemented by touches like colorful tiles. Staff were notably friendly, assisting with airport transfers and accommodating late arrivals. However, the tranquility is disrupted by early morning train noise, and the room insulation leaves much to be desired. Breakfast options were limited, and coffee quality was poor, detracting from an otherwise pleasant atmosphere.
