    Cons -

    • Room was very strip Jack! No chair or table
    • Elevator is a bit noisy, as much as I initially thought it was someone playing drums! However, it is rarely operated during the night so we slept well
    • The room we were in the onsuite shower room was freezing as there was a bad draft it ment heating had to be kept on high. Bed linen and towels was only changed once in 4 nights

    The hotel had a clean, nice look. The free coffee and tea options were very welcomed. The room was small but cozy and efficiently laid out. Dylan (?) at reception was kind and helpful.

    10CraterePosted on: 2-8-2026

    Staff was very nice and beverages such as coffee and tea were free 24/7. There was also a lounge area to chill or eat, which was a good surprise.

    Location was ideal

    Bed was literally on the floor. Heat was always turning off. Cold most of the time.

    10BryanPosted on: 1-27-2026

    A lot of quality for the price. Central location, 20 minutes walking time from downtown and other main areas.

    Walls and windows were thin you could hear hallway and outside traffic noise.

    10EcemPosted on: 1-27-2026

    The location was really nice—we were able to walk everywhere. The room was comfortable and spacious enough for a holiday stay.

    8LiamPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Very clean, staff were nice and the lockers were perfect for suitcases and bags.

    It has been over a week and I am still waiting for my deposit back

    8ALEXANDRIAPosted on: 1-21-2026

    The location and services were great!

    The shower never got above tepid temperature. Taking a cold shower before bed or going out was very unpleasant.

    10KittlePosted on: 1-21-2026

    Excellent location for the price! Very affordable

    Rooms are a bit small but nothing unreasonable

    10NataliaPosted on: 1-20-2026

    The location of the hotel to the city. Very clean rooms and up to date look. Also the quiet and dark room was a plus.

    I would have liked a quiet and dark room but with also a city view.

    6DavidPosted on: 1-20-2026

    The staff were very nice.

    My mattress must've been 50 years old - it was virtually flat, with sprung springs. The shower head and water were just fine, the floor of the shower was smooth, therefore slippery, and more so when soap was rinsed away.

    10JonathanPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Very friendly staff and this made all the difference! Thanks to Elena (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) for helping me with my bags and all the other staff members for making me feel at home.The rooms are cosy and everything works great. Location wise, there are countless options within a 10 minute walk, including great brunch and cafe options.

    All good!

    7LaurenPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Staff were super helpful

    The room next to the lobby is a little tough for lighter sleepers but otherwise was exactly what I needed, a clean place to stay for the night

    7AndreaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Clean, comfy, good location; ideal for a place to sleep while visiting the city

    I wish the room had a mini fridge but otherwise no complaints

    7VitalijaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Room was ok, location is amazing you can walk to theater district and seaport and downtown.The room could be cleaner (had some dust) and outlets for charging was not working. But overall experience was good

    Could be cleaner.

    7KristaPosted on: 1-18-2026

    It was in walking distance to everything we were doing. it was clean and comfortable.

    7PhilippPosted on: 1-15-2026

    Cheap, great location. Simple, but efficient rooms with well-equipped bathrooms.

    Toilet not entirely clean.I could hear the receptionist talking all the night.
