Good location but it’s up on a hill so you are walking up a hill to get here from the tram. Getting to the airport? A two hour journey by public transit and again you are walking up a hill to get to the metro. Something to be aware of before you book. My room was clean, but one bathroom per floor and I had to wait multiple times to go to the bathroom or shower, etc. The location is stellar is are planning to uber or taxi, but kind of a nightmare in 30C suffocating heat walking uphill.
