Wonderful Stay!

helpful staff great location underground station

I found the staff consistently nice and helpful. The location was very convenient with close proximity to two underground stations. Plenty of bus stops were also nearby, along with walking distance to several points of interest.

The room was small. The mattress felt hard, so sleep was difficult. The bathroom also felt small.

The hotel provides complimentary candy and fruit, which I found a nice touch. Breakfast was good, with fried eggs, excellent yogurt, cheeses, and espresso. I enjoyed the variety of options available each morning.
