I couldn't have asked for a better location at this hotel. It's right at the center of all the tourist attractions, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms offer a fantastic view, and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience was just average, with European dishes that didn't quite hit the mark. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.

This hotel is a hidden gem in a different area than one might typically look for. The rooms offer a cool design and are perfect for all your belongings, although they lack some essential amenities. The service is exceptional, but the dining options are limited. The location is close to subways to get anywhere in the city, making it convenient for sightseeing, and the restaurant serves tasty dishes. Overall, a great value for a unique stay.
