10/10 Excellent
"The staff were very nice, welcoming, and hardworking. The facilities were well-maintained, and the amenities were quite impressive for a three-star hotel. The location was also very convenient, as it was only a few minutes away from the city center, train station, and bus stop. Lastly, I would like to commend the receptionists for their professionalism and patience in handling a particularly impatient customer."
