amazing stay!

The hotel location is super close to the subway station, i found that convenient! the hotel had amazing amenities. Free snacks in the afternoon and a coffee machine offering hot, iced coffee and lattes. It was a real treat after a long day exploring. leaving my suitcases before check-in and after check-out was easy, i didn't have to worry at all. the beds and pillows were wonderfully comfortable!
Honestly. The bathroom had a slight unpleasant smell occasionally, nothing major but noticeable. I just wish it smelled a little fresher all the time!

acceptable stay with cleanliness issues

convenient locationshower draindust problem
the location was convenient, close to public transport.
The room cleanliness was subpar. I found hairs in the shower drain. dust was apparent everywhere, even after i reported it and the reception arranged a deep cleaning the next morning. dust remained on the wall and in corners, so i had to clean it myself (it was quite unpleasant).
