The room is tiny and not very comfortable, there is barely place to put a suitcase or open it. It's a pitty that there is no breakfast at the hotel, but on the other hand, there are plenty of cafes with excellent breakfasts right near the hotel. However, the hotel is in a great location, there is everything around - food, shopping, a bus stop and a train station.

The rooms were very small, but were cheap and within an 8 minute walk of a couple different subway stations. Overall, it was a super convenient place to stay and left me wanting for nothing except a little more space in the room.
