super clean and convenient!

varied breakfastspacious roommetro access

breakfast was varied with both sweet and savory choices. the room was spacious, very clean, and faced away from the street, keeping it quiet. the hotel's proximity to both the train station and a metro station made city exploration simple. i also appreciated the vending machines with water and coffee.

i found that the key drop-off policy when leaving the hotel felt slightly inconvenient.
