The location was very good. It was close to underground trains and bus routes, that was convenient. I found the room well appointed, and the bed was comfortable. Staff was nice and helpful to me.

The rooms are very compact. There is almost no place to move around at all. There's even less space to keep your luggage. Bathrooms are very very small for me.

the check-in process proceeded rapidly , with a clear explanation of the location of my room across three interconnected buildings. its situation proved advantageous , being only a short walk from the nearest underground station. i discovered my room was situated at the back of one of the buildings , and it included its own seating area.

the towels provided in the bathroom were notably small. i also found some incomplete restoration work , shown by holes in the walls. there were also only a few clothes hangers available , which i thought was not quite sufficient.
