The location was perfect close to many coffee bars. The staff was very kind. The room design was very beautiful and modern in a japanese style.
The lounge is not great it is a real joke. There is nothing to eat or drink for the price paid. The hotel could offer drinks at will in the lounge. It could also offer especially good food to taste.
