Very clean hotel! We got the big room for a family of four. Nice huge wrap-around balcony with plants. Didn’t mind not having aircondition (early June) because the room felt cool enough with the centralized fan. Huge bathroom. Amazing breakfast! Steps away from metro. Friendly staff! Exceeded expecations.

Like the idea but not for us.

The concept is a nice idea but not for us.. Wasn’t aware this hotel was a hotel for hospital patients. There is no tea / coffee making facility in the room, in fact the room although very clean is literally a bed, one pillow each, and very basic. Although calling itself a hotel it is more like a hospital room. The ‘restaurant’ is more a canteen, and although the food is good there are hospital patients with cannulas, bandages and new borns wondering around. I do like the idea this ‘hotel’ is trying to do but if classing themselves as a hotel they need to add that hotel feel not a hospital. If you are travelling for pleasure (couple break away for us) perhaps not for you, if you want a quick stop to get your head down then it would do.
