Super location and experience

central location good concept spacious bathroom
The location was REALLY central. Everything was within walking distance. I liked the hotel concept, especially not needing a TV or closet. The bathroom was spacious with a nice shower, and i found that quite charming.
The quilt cover in my first room was dirty. It. I had to change rooms, inconvenient. I was tired after changing rooms.

Breakfast was very tasty. The staff cooked it in front of me. I knew it was freshly made. If one leaves early, the hotel arranges a breakfast box to-go, I found this awesome. The box was delicious.
Service
10/10
Staff are willing to help guests anytime. They provide recommendations, experiences, and knowledge. When checking-in, one receives a welcome drink. It is their beer. I think the staff's knowledge is wonderful.

The rooftop bar is available for people to hang out. The ground level bar is also great. The hotel also features a rooftop terrace. It provides an authentic view. I enjoyed the design.
