"Rude staff, awfully hot rooms (no A/C) with micro bathrooms and far from everything interesting in the city. Don't be impressed with the nice facade, this is a prison in disguise. All the air you are going to get comes from a 5in crack in the only room window. I got the largest room and it still looked like a prison cell. Noisy neighborhood and the closest shop/restaurant is almost a mile away. Room was not clean once during our 5-night stay. Do yourself a favor a stay elsewhere."
"The room was quite small, but it was perfectly adequate for a one-night stay. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location was excellent and convenient for getting around. Overall, it's a good choice if you're looking for a clean, well-located hotel for a short stay."
"The hotel was conveniently located and close to everything, which made getting around very easy. Unfortunately, the room was not clean. The carpets were dirty, there was mold in the bathroom, no shampoo was provided, and the soap dispensers were empty. The room TV was positioned incorrectly. Very difficult to watch from bed. Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance of the room did not meet expectations."
"This hotel is modern, has a nice roof terrace & has won a sustainability award (if that's important to you). However, the room was small & tight, there is no venting or AC & the breakfast was marginal in comparison to our last 30 breakfasts on this trip. Also, contrary to what was advertised, the parking is not free."
