I particularly appreciate its personalized service, including flexible dietary accommodations, and the fact that most major attractions are within walking distance. The bar and restaurant's relaxed atmosphere makes it an appealing choice, and the inclusion of on-site gardens adds a touch of serenity amid the urban setting.”

location is good, but some issues
complicated check-in cigarette smoke
Check-in was weird. It's just a computer at the back of the restaurant. i had to drag my luggage down stairs through the restaurant to get there. plus, there isn't any ac, so the room was stuffy. we had to choose between street noise and cigarette smoke or a not-super-helpful fan.

central location with modern amenities
stocked fridge spacious bathroom lovely toiletries coffee machine
the rooms were clean and equipped with a hairdryer and straighteners. a coffee machine and kettle were also in the room (very convenient!). the fridge was well stocked with various beverages. the bathroom was spacious and included lovely toiletries.
check-in occurred at the back of a busy bar, lacking a designated hotel reception area. this made me a little concerned when i had to leave my luggage there.

underwhelming stay
loud music slow breakfast service
the room was modern and well-equipped..
The loud music from the bar below made it difficult to sleep until late at night. also, the breakfast service was slow and disorganized. I waited over 40 minutes for a simple order. the lack of clear signage for the hotel entrance made it confusing to find initially.
