8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
The hotel is well located and close to serviced areas. The rooms are spacious but require a face lift and some further amenities like a coffee machine. The mattress are very soft and feel consumed. Aside from that, the breakfast and facilities are very good and staff is friendly.
