Classic King Room

3 nights in November 2025

Reviewed:February 12, 2026

generally ok stay

central locationeasy accessnoise issuesmissing water

i stayed in a classic king room. the hotel location is very central and close to shops. (it was easy to find everything i needed).

i requested a quiet room, but it was not honored and the cars were quite loud outside during the night. also, there was no bottled water in the room and it took a while to get some (apparently, they were out of stock).
