The hotel was very clean. I found the staff helpful and accommodating. The toilet and shower were separated. This made getting ready easier.
The room was too small for two people. I feel it was very, very small. I think it was too small to be practical.

Really good Amenities and Convenient Location

excellent facilitiescomplimentary snackswell-planned design
I appreciated the excellent facilities located downstairs in the communal area. Complimentary snacks, juice, and coffee were available. The hotel provided a rotation of baked goods to eat. I also found the bathroom quite spacious with a well-planned design.
The shower head could be improved, as a finer head would enhance the experience slightly.

A sanctuary of peace

central locationconvenient subwaycomplimentary foodlack compensation
i found the location so convenient it was central and very calm. the subway was nearby as were convenience stores. the hotel offered a complimentary food and coffee area i found good and quite rare to discover.
the early checkout was i had to leave two days early due unforeseen circumstances. a form of compensation would have been a kind gesture especially with the room resold at a higher price. its lack felt somewhat inelegant.

The shower was amazing. The bed was comfortable (as comfortable as hotels three times the price). The room was dark at night, ensuring a good night's sleep. We also liked the snacks and drinks, as they refreshed them throughout the day.
The hotel had only a single washing machine. It was a headache trying to use it. We needed to go to a coin laundry 500m away. I did not like this arrangement.
