"The room was very spacious, modern and clean! Staff were very helpful when i attempted an early check in, but were only available by whatsapp or email. There is no "lobby" or area to sit prior to room being ready, or restaurant. Something to think about if you are arriving early after a long overnight flight. Great amenities in the room! An easy 5 minute walk to the Hbf area which has shops and transport. Street is a bit sketch but I felt OK as a solo female traveler. I would stay here again!"
