Charming Stay at a Wonderful Location

fantastic locationefficient teamhelpful staff
The location is fantastic. The metro from the airport takes 30 minutes, then it is a 5-minute walk to the hotel. The team is great. They are friendly, cute, and efficient. The hotel has genuine character, and the staff is very helpful (I especially appreciated their local recommendations).
The room was on the top floor, so it felt quite small.

The room had stylish design (I think it was a Superior Double Room). The location was great. The staff were really friendly and helpful. They provided eco-friendly gifts, which I liked.
The blinds let in a lot of light. I needed to use my eye mask. The window made a whistling sound all night. I was lucky I had ear plugs (it was a bit annoying, though).
