My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms, though petite, were incredibly well-designed to maximize space. They were spotlessly clean, had super comfy beds, and even came with a free mini-bar and all the latest gadgets like an Alexa. The daily servicing, including the top-up of the mini-bar, was a nice touch. The lobby's cool design and the provision of unlimited high-quality coffee and snacks added to the overall experience.

The hotel's location is fantastic, close to various attractions and amenities. While the rooms were cozy, they were impacted by noises from nearby machines. The service was exceptional, with a helpful and friendly team. Dining offered a pleasant surprise with a substantial spread. The wear and tear in some areas slightly marred the otherwise convenient location.
