the location was acceptable, offering convenient access to nearby areas.
The room's facilities were disappointing. The basin was oddly placed in the hallway without natural light, and the window lacked sheer blinds, compromising privacy.

Wonderful Stay!

rooftop barfree laundryairy roomexcellent shower
The rooftop bar and pool were really good! I appreciated the free laundry. This was a huge bonus. The room felt clean and airy upon arrival. The shower was excellent, and the bed and linen were comfortable.
The Chromecast did not work, a minor inconvenience that became more noticeable since I spent one whole day sick in the room. It was a shame that such a nice hotel couldn't ensure all Chromecasts were properly configured and working.

Really good experience!

I appreciated the VERY helpful staff. The common areas, rooms, and bathrooms were all VERY clean. The location is GREAT, and it is easy to walk everywhere. Plenty of coffee bars are nearby (great for morning caffeine). I enjoyed the activities, like billiards, ping pong, and the gym.
The reception desk was often unmanned.

Disappointed with Room Design and Service

awkward sink placementunhelpful staff
The room design presented some issues. The sink was oddly placed in the hallway area and lacked natural light. The window only had a full blackout blind. This setup meant I had to choose between total darkness or complete exposure to the building across the street. The staff did not show much interest in helping with issues.

I appreciated the hotel's central location. It made city exploration simple. the rooftop bar featured pleasant sunset views. the staff quickly handled an unexpected blackout. This added to my peace of mind. i have already scheduled a return visit for the coming fall. It should be wonderful.
The room lacked a bit of furniture like a closet. This forced us to keep most clothing in suitcases, that was somewhat unconfortable.
