The underground station was very close. The price was fair for a two night stay and the mattress was comfortable. The room also had useful furniture and the WiFi connection worked well.

The room was quite small and not like the photos I had seen.

charming stay!

late check-out respectful call comfy bed

they let me check out later than normal. it was very respectful that they called me before, i appreciate that. i really enjoyed they respected my situation during my travel. the comfy bed meant a lot after a long day of walking.

the walls are thin so its easy to hear noises. sometimes, its hard to not overhear things going on around me. doors slam loudly since they aren't soft close.
