Great location. Right in the middle of everything. The water pressure and temperature are what dreams are made of, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Friendly staff too. There is a mall in the same building! A shoppers dream. The king room was comfortable and clean. No complaints at all. ...

COMMA Boutique Hotel
The hotel is clean and adequate. It's odd to have to request that your room be cleaned, but once you do, they do a good job. The location is okay, if you want to be in the hyper-touristy Ximen area. No major issues though; booking here won't cause you a travel nightmare.
