decent location, some issues

musty odordirty towels
The hallways and my room had a distinct musty and smoky odor. towels were not white. They were grey and was unclean. they charged me $50 to clean what were already dirty towels and cups. i had to ask the bell boy for toilet paper, as the maid didn't leave any.

Central Location and Helpful Staff

helpful staffcomfortable accommodationoverpriced tour
The front desk staff was helpful. I was pleased with the room upgrade I received. The room was clean. The accommodation was comfortable.
The hotel's sales tactics for overpriced tours were persistent. A boat trip offered at 20 euros was found to cost significantly less elsewhere. The room lacked soundproofing.
Location

The hotel is very central with several restaurants nearby. The main road is a short walk away. Key points of interest are within walking distance, including the Grand Bazaar.
