Great modern hotel and convenient location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was modern and clean and was in an area that’s a walking (15-20min) distance from the museums and many restaurants. We enjoyed the attentiveness from the staff and that the metro station was 2min away. The least favorite part was the breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant (but many other spots walking distance away).

Staff was excellent! Elevators were very slow ( it was busy so it’s understandable I guess). The light and coffee maker did not work - did not have power. Beds and pillows were super comfy! I would definitely return.
