great stay in convenient location
spacious room clean room late check-out reasonable price
the lobby features a vibrant and hip design. i appreciated the sunday late check-out at 3pm, a fantastic perk. my room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom included nice facilities. i found the price reasonable for an overnight stay.
The room felt a bit sparse and functional. I wished for slightly more decor.

the rooms offer separate quilts for each side of the bed, a thoughtful touch! the shower room was notably clean and well kept, important for a comfortable stay. the room was silent!

reasonable stay overall
food range good location missing bath room issue
the hotel has a good location. it is close to amenities. the range of food at the breakfast was also extensive. i found several options to choose from.
the hotel room did not have a bath. i had ticked the box for a bath. i was given a room without one UPON arrival. this was not ideal.

street noise carpet stains
the room was quite noisy because of street traffic , even on a higher floor. i could hear people shouting late into the night , which disrupted my sleep. also , i noticed stains on the carpet , suggesting the room needs some maintenance. it wasn't a terrible experience , but the noise and cleanliness issues definitely impacted my stay.
