the staff was friendly. they were helpful and cute, which i appreciated. i also found the eco-friendly aspect of the hotel to be a nice touch. the room was compact, but i thought it still felt warm and comfortable.
i was disappointed that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. i also found the air conditioning to be problematic. it kept turning itself off every two hours, made for an uncomfortable night during the heatwave.

good space useconvenient locationsuper clean hoteluncomfortable pillowcoffee facilitiescold breakfast
The room was clean and was to use space well. The location between two underground stations was convenient. The decor was nice and the hotel was spotlessly clean.
I found the beds and pillows to be quite uncomfortable. There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room, though it was available in reception. The cooked breakfast was cold, even after I mentioned it. The staff said the plate was warm, though the food was not.
