We loved the great location, just steps from the main station, making it easy to explore. The room was clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure. Although the check-in process was a bit complicated, we had a comfortable stay overall!

the room we had provided good privacy with curtains, and we appreciated the cleanliness maintained by the hardworking staff. the rooftop offered a nice view of the iconic landmark, which was a lovely perk.
Nothing, all great! 😊.

My stay was pretty great! The location is spot on, just a hop away from the main station and close to shops and good eats. Self-check-in was super convenient, especially arriving late. I also loved the comfy beds and the cleanliness – really made the experience enjoyable. Plus, the staff were quick to respond if I had any questions!
On the downside, there’s no elevator, which can be a pain if you have heavy luggage. The walls are really thin, so be prepared for some noise from your neighbors. towels weren’t always easy to get on my floor, but they sorted that out pretty quickly when I asked. it’s a solid place if you’re okay with these little quirks!

The location couldn't be better; just steps away from the main station, making it super convenient for late arrivals or departures. The beds were comfortable, and I appreciated the provided towels and laundry facilities. The showers had excellent water pressure, and the cleaners worked diligently to keep everything spotless.
Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

I had a great time staying here! The location is fantastic, super close to the main station, which made getting around so easy. Plus, there are food stalls and shops right downstairs, perfect for grabbing a quick bite. The rooftop view of the iconic tower was an awesome bonus too! The staff were really friendly and responsive to my needs, making my stay even more enjoyable.
On the downside, the walls are definitely thin, so if you're a light sleeper, it could be a challenge, especially with noisy neighbors late at night. be careful with the bathroom cleanliness—it could use some improvement. Just a heads-up, there's no elevator, which may be tough for some guests.

I really got great value for my money here; the room was modern, clean, and surprisingly comfortable thanks to good mattresses. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the main station, making check-in and travel super convenient, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Morning meal could use a bit more variety.

We loved the hotel's unbeatable location right across from the main station, making transportation a breeze. The cleanliness was impressive, as both the room and bathroom were tidy and well-maintained. We also appreciated the helpful staff, who promptly answered our messages. Plus, having a water station and laundry facilities nearby added to our convenience.
Everything exceeded our hopes.

Had a fantastic time during my city break! The location is spot on, right next to the main station and super close to a 7-11 for late-night snacks. Self check-in was a breeze and the staff were quick to respond when I had questions. Plus, the clean beds were super comfy, making it easy to relax after a long day of exploring!
But man, the no-window situation was a bummer. It got kinda stuffy, and waking up to a pitch-black room felt weird. those steep stairs were tough to navigate with my luggage. Plus, the shared spaces felt pretty cramped, so it wasn't the most relaxing vibe. pretty decent but had its downsides.

Great location and modern vibe. The rooms are comfortable with proper mattresses. Loved the clean shower facilities, though the water temperature could be tricky at times. Just a heads up, bring your own towel if you want one right away! A pleasant stay with friendly staff.

I'll give credit where it's due: this place is super close to the main train station, which makes travel a breeze! Plus, there are cute shops and food spots right around the corner, so you won't go hungry or bored. I also loved the comfy bed—it was a nice spot to crash after a long day of exploring the city.
But wow, there were some major downsides. First off, no elevator, so lugging bags up three flights is a workout! the bathroom situation wasn't great; the hot water was all over the place, and I honestly had to use a smelly floor mat instead of an actual towel. To top it all off, the walls were paper-thin—my neighbors were up partying until 4 am, so good luck getting any sleep!

I had a nice stay over Christmas! The location is super convenient—only a 10-15 minute walk from the main station, making it super easy to explore the city. The beds were comfy, and I really appreciated having an en-suite bathroom to myself. Plus, the whole vibe of the place felt cute, especially during the festive season!
The room was pretty cramped; I could barely fit my luggage in there! There was no staff on-site, which made checking in a bit confusing, and the noise from other rooms was pretty distracting at night. I also wish I had known where to find towels since I ended up buying my own.
