I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was super friendly, and the location was fantastic. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. The pool area was a great place to relax and unwind. The value for money was good overall, but there were a few improvements needed in certain areas.

I found this hotel to be ideally located, just next to a convenient subway station and in a lovely neighborhood. The rooms were clean, and having a bathroom inside was a great bonus. However, the night shift service could improve in terms of efficiency. The dining experience was average, but the cold meat options were not very appealing.

The rooms are equipped with necessary amenities like air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms, which are a definite plus. However, the customer service, especially during the night shift, could be more efficient. The dining experience, with options like soba, is commendable.
