Really good Stay

central locationhelpful stafflovely loungeunexpected space
The location provided easy access to many tourist spots. I found an unexpected lounge with tea, coffee, and workspaces. It was a great space. All staff members proved helpful. I cannot comment on dining as I did not have breakfast.
The room felt a bit dated and dusty, the lampshades were a bit grubby.

comfortable bedexcellent locationdirty doors
the staff was very helpful. i appreciated the comfortable bed and the ironing equipment in the room. water refills were available in the hallway and the location was within walking distance of major sights. the option to leave bags before and after check-in was useful.
the communal areas needed more attention regarding cleanliness. i noticed the revolving doors were dirty upon entering the hotel. i thought this detracted from the overall impression.
