Excellent Location, Compact Room

ideal locationfriendly staffhigh noise

The location was ideal. It was close to attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful during check-in. I found the room design efficient, despite its small size.

The room had very limited space. I noticed the noise level was high, even with earplugs. Street sounds made it difficult to sleep before midnight.

Rooms

The room provided one double bed and a small storage area. I noticed a skylight above the bed. The bathroom included a shower and basic toiletries, it was well-kept.

Facilities

9/10

The hotel offered complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the building. Reception was staffed 24 hours. A discount was available for parking at the nearby garage, that was very useful.
