Reviews
Room was big and could easily open two suitcases. Towels were given but no toothbrushes nor slippers which didn’t affect us as we brought our own.
However, there is ongoing construction right beside the hotel, and if your room is assigned on that side, the noise and dust can be quite disruptive. Another downside was the minibar policy — we were surprised to be charged extra just to have the minibar emptied. While I understand this may be due to the infrared sensor system, it was still disappointing, especially as we had bought sashimi and wanted to chill it for supper, which slightly ruined our plans for the evening.
Overall, the hotel has great staff and a good location, but the construction noise and minibar policy affected our experience. Still a decent stay, but something future guests should be aware of.
