In front of train station - not the best crowd at night and there is a nightclub/lounge also on the corner that does not attract the best crowd.

Closet hangers way too high. Had to step inside to hang clothes. Also, safe is on the floor. Had to get on knees to use the safe. Terrible!!! Your designer did not think nor care about seniors. How do short people hang clothes when hangers are in the sky?

Review of 2 Day Stay in Hotel Monopol
The location is amazing, close to the boat docking area and the train station. The location also houses a Starbucks and is nearby to a few nice restaurants. I did however, have a few issues during my stay. The room that I was assigned to had horrible shower drainage issues as well as an unstable shower head holder that nearly hit my head twice and when I informed the staff about it, the next day the issues were worsened, and the water pooled at my feet and did not go down until many hours later so that was not a pleasant experience. The other issue I had was the wifi was very slow and spotty, often disconnecting or loading very slowly. I did like the room size and the service from the staff, they gave 2 free sparking water bottles and the bathroom was decent sized for a double room. There was a bit of noise on Fridays and Saturdays from the street below from bars even with the windows closed so be mindful of that. Additionally, on one of the nights of my stay, the hotel had a ringing alarm noise go off at 3 am which woke me up and disrupted my sleep unfortunately. Overall it's a decent hotel but I was expecting way more (particularly a working shower), especially for how overpriced it is.
