For travelers prioritizing location over flawless luxury, this could still be a viable option.”

underwhelming and overpriced stay

fine locationdark roompoor ventilation

the hotel's location was fine, quite close to the metro.

the room was really dark because the blackout curtains were always closed for privacy. this made it unpleasant during the day because there wasn't natural light. also, the shower lacked a proper door, causing the bathroom to get wet easily. ventilation wasn't good.

The breakfast was GREAT with many options available. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries they had. My room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions with smile.

I found some mold in the shower. I also noticed some towels had grey stains. the cleaning service did not seem to refill amenities automatically. i had to call for a new toilet roll.
