My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were well thought out with a good desk to work on, but the area is undergoing some reconstruction. The service from the owner was very helpful, although some staff from other nationalities could be unhelpful. The location was really good, close to restaurants and bars, but there were some noisy neighbors nearby. The dining experience at the nearby Unknown Chapter Cafe was convenient, serving globally inspired dishes. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some minor downsides.

The room I stayed in was not very accommodating as it was constantly hot, the blinds on the window let more sun in than keep it out, and the cooling facility was just a fan that didn't really help. On the upside, the location was excellent, close to various city attractions and supermarkets.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were fantastic, comfortable, and had all the facilities a solo traveler like me would need. However, the mornings were a bit bright if you prefer darkness, and there was some noise from the hotel staff moving in and out of the next room.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the air conditioning was very clean and efficiently utilized the small space in the room, it felt quite cramped and more suitable for students rather than mature couples. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the initial issue with the air conditioning was a downside. The location was convenient, being close to the city center and popular dining spots, but the lack of space within the room was a drawback. The dining experience was decent, although some more seating options would have been appreciated.

The hotel is centrally located in the city center, making it ideal for visiting friends and exploring. The rooms, while small, have everything needed but seem a bit tired.

The hotel has new and comfortable rooms with everything needed, but it can be noisy due to the proximity to the main door. The lack of a small table and chairs may be inconvenient, and the room size is small. Friendly and attentive staff provide great local recommendations, although there were issues with addressing parked cars. The location is excellent, close to supermarkets, cool bars, and the city center, but noise from the street may be a concern. There are various dining options nearby, although specific breakfast services may not be available. Overall, the hotel offers a decent stay with room for improvement in noise control and room amenities.

I absolutely loved this hotel! It was perfect for us traveling with 2 young children. The rooms were modern, well noise insulated, and perfectly laid out. They were very tidy, and the bed was comfortable after a long day of travel. The only downside was the absence of a table, so if you want to eat or do any work in the room, you'll have to do so on the bed.
