The room I had was really basic. Facilities seemed quite outdated to me. The corner of the mirror was broken with cracks, this bothered me a lot. The metal bottle for hand soap near the mirror was rusty. It had disgusting substances all over it.

The location is excellent near the subway station. I found many restaurants, cafes and shops close by. The staff are friendly especially one of the managers.
The breakfast was okay, but below what I expect from a similar hotel. Access to the restaurant requires stairs. This could be difficult for older people or people with mobility issues.
