perfect spot

convenient location renovated hotel comfortable bed popular lobby
The hotel's location proved excellent. The subway entrance is just 50 meters away. the hotel looked newly renovated. It was clean and cozy. the bed was comfortable. The towels were really soft and fluffy. i enjoyed working in the lobby. It was quite popular.
The shower door wasn't leakproof and water spilled onto the toilet basin area , made the floor wet. I found that annoying. it seems to be a design fault!
Rooms
9/10
The room had light switches with multiple settings like 'sunrise', 'night' and 'day'. the modern feel suited me very well. It gave a sense of efficiency to the stay, i liked it a lot.
Location

poor air conditioning skipped room
The breakfast had a really good selection. The staff was nice enough, I suppose.
The room was too warm. The air conditioning barely worked. The room smelled a bit musty, to be frank. The housekeeping skipped my room one day even though I requested service. It was annoying to have to ask for fresh towels at the front desk.

mixed feelings about this stay

shower leak cramped shower area
The breakfast had a lot of choices. That was acceptable.
The shower door leaked badly. Water went all over the floor, quite annoying. also, the shower area felt very cramped. There was barely any room to turn around. i think it's a design fault.

the breakfast was fine. the kitchen staff is hospitable.
the rooms were too warm (i think it was impossible to open the windows). the room ventilation could only go down to 20 degrees. the fan stopped every hour, so i had to get up to turn it back on. i slept badly all three nights because of the stuffy air.

Excellent City Center Stay

central location friendly staff
I appreciated the central location as it was ideal for exploring the city. All the main attractions were easily accessible. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast selection offered a wide variety of options, so I found something I liked! The hotel had a sauna on the ninth floor. It was a welcome addition after a day of walking.
This caused some noise during the night and early morning.
