The property was clean. Check in was very easy. You can check in your luggage for free using their lockers (you need 2 euros as a deposit) if your room is not ready. Room was a good size for 2 people. Breakfast had a good variety and tasted great. Bus stop was right outside the hotel, and another one 2 mins away. Grocery and mall beside the hotel, lots of dining options that are easily of walking distance from the hotel.

Hotel located in Central are so accessible but outside I felt more and more people smoke and you will be second hand smoker. Lift requires key card and sometime confuse if want to go 2nd floor to 6. Check in via kisok is smooth but do not expect staff assistance or reception. Inside hotel rooms are clean but Sofa bed they do not install additional layer so not comfortable. Breakfast option limited overall good for transportation, cost and required no staff support. Breakfast menu can be improved and install central water filling station for travellers carry own water bottles to save environment.

This hotel is convenient, easily accessible, and the rooms are spacious and clean Although I can’t fault the hotel itself we stayed here in extremely hot weather and there is no air conditioning. The room was like a sauna until 2am even with windows open and it was a real struggle to sleep. I wouldn’t stay again because of the lack of AC and I would not recommend booking this hotel in the summer months
