9.2/10 Wonderful! (155 reviews)
We stayed here for three nights as a family of four. The staff were very kind and helpful, and the room was spacious enough for all of us. We especially appreciated that the bathroom and toilet were separate, which made the stay feel almost like being at home. We had four large suitcases, but there was still plenty of space to open them up, so we were very comfortable throughout our stay. The hotel is located in an area surrounded by office buildings and apartment complexes. It can feel a little quiet at night, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a lively area where you can walk around in the evening. However, if you prefer a quiet and peaceful place, this is a great choice.
