acceptable stay overall

subway station pin code entry access system run down room toilet seat neighbor noise

the location had good access to the subway station. it took around 15 minutes to reach the center. the pin code entry system worked properly so i was ready to use it easily.

rooms are run down. i noticed hair on the toilet seat upon arrival indicating insufficient cleaning. there was noise from neighbors and drunk people at 2am.

Great Spot, Easy Access

easy access subway access clear directions

The hotel's location was excellent. I appreciated the easy access to the subway nearby. The code access to both the building and my room worked well. I found the email directions very clear. I knew that phone support was available 24 hours before check-in.

The terrace was closed. I did not see any signs indicating this, a little disappointing.

Satisfactory Stay

rooftop view excellent location poor lighting peeling laminate

I appreciated the room having a fridge and microwave. It was also nice that the hotel offered a rooftop view. It had great storage space. The location was excellent.

The room lighting was very poor. The laminate on the side table was peeling off. I also heard every single person in the hall. Traffic from the street was audible.
