stylish stay

pleasant smellthoughtful detailsmissing coffee
i loved the design when i arrived. the lobby and rooms have a pleasant smell, and everything feels warm. the staff helped me book a bus to the mountains (they even made a phone call). the room had well-thought-out details.
the room lacked coffee. room service only made the bed and emptied the garbage. they did not clean cups, change towels, or take away empty water bottles.

the hotel staff were really helpful. i appreciate they spoke good english. the room included a fridge and air conditioning (which was really important for me!). the bathroom was also clean.
The room lacked sufficient space. there was no place to unpack and store clothes. I left everything in my suitcase. there was also no coffee in the room. I had to go downstairs to get one (which was a bit of a hassle).

lovely designcomfortable bedamazing water pressureconvenient neighborhood
I adored the design. It felt modern and calming. the water pressure in the shower was so powerful (a small luxury i really appreciate!). i found the bed so comfortable. I sank right in and slept soundly. the neighborhood was very walkable and convenient, perfect for exploring local spots for food and coffee.
the rooms were very small, but i barely spent time there during my trip, so it was okay.
