"The hotel is convenient located near the main attractions in downtown area, train and metro stations. The room is just big enough to have everything you need. The lockers in the basement is very convenient if you arrive early. Hotel check in was relatively easy via an app. My room was in a quiet section of building and I loved it. The only thing was a bit annoying was that the bathroom doesn’t have the little town for dry your feet when you come out of the shower I had to request an extra to use like that."
