I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a comfortably low noise level. However, they did not come equipped with coffee or a coffee maker, which was a bit of a downside. The separate living room was a nice touch for hosting visitors.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although really nice and clean, were not ready when I arrived at 5 PM, but they did look exactly like their website photos. The service was top-notch; however, there was an unfortunate incident that made me reconsider recommending this hotel. The location turned out to be very good, close to restaurants and a metro stop, despite not being the greatest. The dining options were okay, but there were places around to eat at. Although there were some downsides, my overall stay was satisfactory.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for a self-service breakfast. However, the absence of a small fridge was a drawback as the hotel didn't provide any breakfast options. The service was somewhat lacking due to staff still in training and noise in the hallways. The location was excellent, close to a subway station and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The dining experience was enjoyable with good nearby restaurant options. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor issues.
