独立記念日前の滞在という事で施設周辺の騒音はありました。 警察が交通整備をやっていたので笛の音が朝からずっと聞こえます。 施設は清潔で滞在しやすかったです。トコジラミなどの心配も皆無でしょう。 個室は、個室エリアのドアを開けると３つの個室があり、その3部屋でトイレとシャワーを共有します。 部屋のテレビはスマートテレビで、自分のアカウントでNetflixが見られたのは最高に嬉しかったです。体調を崩して丸一日部屋にいた時は大変助かりました。 朝食もフルーツやヨーグルト、チラキレスもあって飽きませんでした。 この辺りにまた宿泊する事があればここ一択です。インテリアが可愛くてスタッフも優しくて、大好きです。 チェックアウト後は荷物を無料で預けられます。

Las instalaciones son maravillosas, el lugar es muy bonito y el personal muy amable. Me encantó que sean bed boxes, puedes cerrar con llave tu box y así absolutamente todas tus cosas están seguras y a parte, dentro de tu bed box tienes una caja fuerte personal. Los baños están limpios, el roof garden es precioso y el area del bar también, sin duda regresaría. Hay area de trabajo con cubiculos por si requieres más privacidad. Creo que es un lugar bastante cómodo para estancias largas, me encantó.

Para un hospedaje de una noche está bien. Mi habitación fue privada y sólo los baños compartidos. Aunque en la regadera no había jabón ni shampoo. En general es bueno.

The box beds are great, really secure. They also have lots of daily walking tours and activities. The main downside is you need the window open and the street is noisy. This didn’t bother me but if you need quiet, this wouldn’t be it. I loved my stay and would love to go back.

Todo bien en este lugar, buen desayuno, camas cómodas, baños limpios y empleados amables, el único problema está vez fue con un local que se encuentra en la planta baja donde venden instrumentos musicales el cual tienen el volumen bastante alto y retumba hasta en en el tercer piso, y llega a ser molesto, si hubiera la manera de hablar con el locatario para que regule el volumen de su negocio, ya que hay otros negocios de música en la zona que no tienen ese nivel de ruido tan estridente, por eso en ésta ocasión no le doy más estrellas , gracias
