The hotel's location next to the metro station made exploring the city very simple. I found many restaurants nearby, providing ample dining options. The hotel had a quiet atmosphere, and offered toiletries in the foyer. This was very helpful. I liked that the hotel also provides extras like toothbrushes and razors.

The lifts sometimes smelled of alcohol and cigarettes . This was particularly noticeable in the evenings.

i found the location to be excellent for exploring. it was close to the station entrances which was really helpful. they arranged for our luggage to stay since i was coming back to stay later. i appreciated this a lot.

the room was quite small i could open only one suitcase at a time. the room decor seemed a bit old. i also thought the self serve laundry machines were terrible and inefficient.
