totally awesome stay!

modern hotelgreat locationeasy accessuseful station
This hotel is super new and modern! i walked to so many interesting areas. It was centrally located. the metro station was only 10 minutes away, really useful! i definitely plan to book again here.
the vent had a thick layer of dust on it. it buzzed loudly, barely passing any air through. it was filled with dust mites.

modern roomsgood sizestale aircumbersome process
I loved that the rooms felt so modern and new! the gym was a great bonus. I used it every day. the rooms were a good size!
The air always smelled a bit stale when i first entered the room, though that did go away after about 10 minutes, i think i didn't love that our room had no view, just a wall. the check-in process was so confusing. I don't understand why i had to do it all myself when there was a staff member right there.

amazing stay! so happy with my choice!

helpful staffconvenient locationgreat cleanlinessmissing body cream
The staff was so ready to assist and explain anything i needed! the location made exploring so convenient. the rooms had great cleanliness, even if they weren't huge. i was able to store my suitcases on the ground floor. It helped a ton with space.
i wish there was body cream among the amenities offered. it reminded me of a small thing that could enhance the experience.

The location offered proximity to the main road. Major shops and eateries were easily accessible. The staff provided helpful information about local sites.
I was disappointed to find the window covered with dark membrane. This made the room completely dark and lacked daylight. A building site was next door, I heard constant noises all day (drilling, banging).
