With such a central and convenient location, it offers great value for money and ensures that everything guests might need or want to explore is within walking distance.
Guests have mixed feelings about the breakfast situation at Boulevard Express. The standout point is that breakfast is typically not included in the room rate and guests need to pay an extra fee to have it at another hotel nearby on a different street, which has been described as inconvenient.
