excellent stay!

convenient locationspacious roomhelpful staffinadequate lighting

I found the location very advantageous. It was easy to reach from the airport using the airport limousine bus. the hotel is well-situated for exploring the city on foot and via public transport. the room was spacious and comfortable, and i noted the bathroom was well kept. the staff members i spoke with were both friendly and provided helpful assistance.

the rooms could benefit from additional lighting, particularly those facing the adjacent building. the lack of natural light, combined with inadequate interior lighting, created a somewhat dark atmosphere inside the room.

the room offered ample space and included nice amenities, such as a complimentary mini-bar. the bathroom featured a separate dry and wet area, a detail i found particularly convenient. housekeeping maintained a high standard of cleanliness throughout my stay.

The location was excellent. It was right in the heart of the city, but the room was surprisingly quiet. I loved that contrast. The minibar was complimentary and restocked daily. I really appreciated that perk and the coffee machine.

The corridors were a little dark. I noticed this upon arrival, it was like entering a movie theater, but perhaps it contributed to the hotel's unique theme.

Breakfast end at 9.30am. It's early. They switch off the toaster. I wanted more watermelon, but it was empty. I guess next time I will need to wake up before everyone else.
