Elena, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location; amenities limited-only one cup provided for our room with two ppl. Room is noisy as it is facing the street, not much difference with the balcony door closed or open.

8/10 Very good

No restaurant around hotel
Rowena, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is very convenient. However, there’s no place to put shampoo in the shower room, so I had to leave it on the floor, which was inconvenient. The smallest room is a bit too small, so I’d recommend getting a slightly larger one instead.
KIMIKO, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice, large room that is conveniently located near the train station. We were pleased with decor, cleanliness, and surprising quiet at night of the hotel. I really appreciated the expresso machine in the lobby.
