The location was great and the staff was very welcoming. The check-in process was quick and easy, and I was very happy with my accommodation. I also enjoyed the garden area in the morning. I will definitely be staying here again.

Spotless room & very nice staff. We didn’t get the exact room that we booked (queen) and ended up in a studio instead with two beds, but it was very large & probably would have been more expensive than what we booked. We will definitely stay again!

This hotel is in the vicinity of so many areas of the city you'd want to visit. Most of them walkable. Across the street is a lovely and serene urban park. Dining options are plenty. This is the perfect place if you don't mind minimalist fare in accommodation. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed how available the shared barhrooms are, 2 per floor yet always available. I really liked how i could store my luggage for free in the lobby after checkout. The rooftop terrace is a nice bonus, with a view from 14 floors high. Had nice and quiet neighbors and made a noce experience staying here.

Room with private bathroom: all was good but the hammock shaped mattress needed to be rotated, flipped or more likely replaced. Good A/C and good water pressure.
