I stayed at this hotel and loved the location near the shopping street and close to shops and transport. The rooms were comfortable and had all the amenities I needed, but the price was a bit high. The service, especially the dry cleaning and housekeeping, was exceptional. The dining experience with fresh coffee was a nice touch, but the facilities were somewhat lacking. Overall, a good stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is a true gem with its unbeatable location next to the subway and surrounded by numerous restaurants. The rooms are spacious, modern, and equipped with all amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The service is top-notch, offering excellent dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry services. While the dining options, especially the beef dishes, were outstanding, the overall price for the experience provided great value for money.
