The room was spacious and well-furnished (i enjoyed it a lot). The bed was really comfortable. The hotel's location is very good. The metro station is a short walk away.
The gym and spa require extra payment. This information was not in the hotel description. I found the staff to be somewhat uncaring. The breakfast selection, though decent, did not quite match the standards of other comparable hotels.
