I had a decent stay at this hotel, mainly due to its great location right next to the subway and lots of dining options. The rooms were spacious, but unfortunately, they could have been cleaner, with some unexpected finds under the bed. The service was a bit hit or miss; while some staff were friendly, others seemed uninterested. Overall, it offered good value for money, but I think there’s room for improvement in a few areas.

I had a pretty decent stay at the hotel. It’s super close to the metro station, which made getting around really easy. The rooms were modern, clean, and quiet, but I did notice something under my bed that shouldn’t have been there. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, especially at the front desk. However, the dining experience could definitely use some improvement as the options were quite limited.

The hotel has a great location close to the subway and a lively street filled with bars and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and modern but lacked some basic amenities like tea bags. On the downside, the service wasn't very helpful, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially with well-equipped rooms.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. The location is fantastic, as it's close to the subway station and has plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. My room was clean, but the setup felt a bit odd with too much unused space. The service was not great; some staff members seemed a bit indifferent while checking us in, although one young lady at the front desk was quite helpful. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are areas that could use improvement.
