The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to transportation options. I also found several restaurants and cafes nearby. The room itself was clean and quiet. It included a comfortable bed, perfect.
The room design felt cramped. There was very little space to hang anything. The air conditioning settings were not adjustable. cups were not replaced . The shower design also caused the bathroom to flood.

The location is great. It is an easy walk from the train station. I also received a room upgrade upon arrival (a very nice surprise!). The staff were always cute and pleasant.
Our room was tiny. The bathroom was very claustrophobic, with barely enough room to maneuver. We spent a lot on this hotel (especially since the rooms are so small).
