Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were filled with light and decorated in a soothing minimalist style; however, they were very small, and the staff was very unfriendly. The temperature was nice, though.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The room was super clean and comfortable, but the staff was very unfriendly. The location was great for exploring the downtown area, but it was surrounded by very intoxicated and vulgar people. The dining experience was very poor, making me question the value for money. However, the amenities offered were up to par with expectations.
The hotel had a very modern loft apartment feel, was extremely stinky but clean, and quite small yet very clean. The service was super nice and quite helpful, while the price was overcharged for incidentals. The location was okay for the downtown area, very convenient near restaurants and shops, and perfect for our event. The dining experience was not ready on time and disappointing, resembling a converted executive lounge. The facilities were exceptional overall.
