the hotel had a great location. the metro to many places was only a 2 minute walk. navigating was easy. the staff were friendly and cute. breakfast is excellent and made to order. the restaurant views were amazing during the day and night.
the family room i stayed in had a strong sewage smell. the bidet in one of the toilets did not work well. i informed the reception twice before a maintenance person tried to fix it, but it was not resolved .

great locationorder-only breakfastdusty room
the hotel location seemed pretty fine, quite near all the spots i wanted to see.
the breakfast? it was order-only, a real drag after a couple days i gotta say. also, the room cleaning wasn't exactly what i'd call 'thorough'. i found dust bunnies that could have been mistaken for small pets.
