metro station easy reach luggage storage helpful service check-in quick process dim lights poor illumination unwelcoming atmosphere bad feeling street noise disturbing sound

The hotel is very close to the metro station. It made getting around town REALLY easy. The staff was wonderful and i was able to store my luggage within the premises before check-in. I also stored my luggage after check-out.

The lights in the room were VERY dim. It gave the room an unwelcoming atmosphere. The noise was also quite bad, since the windows did little to block it out. I requested a room away from the street, but this request was not accommodated.

Excellent location and helpful staff

clean toilet good aircon helpful staff

The location is close to the metro and bus stops. I found several good restaurants and a mall nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful (they even assisted with luggage). The room had good air conditioning and a nice, clean toilet.

The front entrance staircase is high, slightly difficult to carry my luggage.

a tender embrace in the city's heart

thoughtful details fluffy towels

i found such solace in the room's thoughtful details, like the kettle and tea. the abundance of fluffy towels and extra pillows, provided upon request, reminded me of a sweet embrace. the supermarket across the street made simple conveniences accessible. the hotel was very quiet, for a restful night.

the lights were dim. it gave a unwelcoming atmosphere. i asked for a room away from the street side. i was told they would take that into account, i was right at the street side.

convenient location helpful staff dim lighting inadequate sound insulation

I found the hotel location quite convenient I was close to the metro. The staff assisted with storing luggage after checkout it allowed freedom to explore.

The lighting in my room was somewhat dim it created a less cute atmosphere. Noise was also a problem sound insulation from outside was inadequate.
