I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay. The location was excellent, just a minute's walk from the subway station, which made exploring the local area a breeze. However, it would have been nice if the rooms were made during my stay.

The location was fantastic, being just a minute's walk to the subway station. It made it convenient for guests who bought food outside the hotel and wanted to enjoy it in the business area. Transforming the space into a lunch spot worked well!

7.6/10

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were some issues with a small rat in the reception area and being asked repeatedly about my whereabouts for my car keys. The hotel is conveniently located near a subway station, but it can get crowded as guests use the business area as a makeshift lunch spot. The dining experience was average, but the facilities were outstanding.
