The rooms were modern and very clean. The location is AMAZING. It is steps away from all the famous nightlife and bars. The sound proofing was really GOOD, and blackout curtains ensured a comfortable sleep. The bed and pillows were of good quality.

The hotel has a bar with live music. On Saturday it goes on until 2 AM and it is really loud.
