This hotel has some notable charms, like pleasant room design and comfortable beds, but also comes with a few drawbacks, such as noise issues and some cleanliness lapses. While the management was accommodating with last-minute changes, the overall experience left me feeling it didn't quite live up to its potential, especially regarding the cleanliness of the rooms. The pricing could be reconsidered as well, depending on what you’re looking for.

Rooms

The room was quite nice, with modern decor and a comfortable bed, but I did find a used condom wrapper under the bed, which was off-putting.

I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. On one hand, the room was clean and the shower facilities were great. On the other hand, the elevator was incredibly slow and made getting around a bit tedious. The noise from the street and other guests was a minor issue but didn't ruin my stay. Overall, it provided decent value for the price considering the location.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the price seemed right for what we expected, the reality was quite different. The room I stayed in was poorly maintained and cleanliness was a huge concern. On a positive note, the shower in the bathroom was powerful and definitely a highlight, but the overall experience left much to be desired.
