Hade det man behövde för en veckas resa med mesta tiden spenderad ute.
Pros:

Att det ligger centralt

Cons:

Väldigt lyhört och dörrar som slås igen hårt saknas tätningslister överallt.

Fine for a shorter stay!
Pros:

The rooftop space was really nice, and the location is on the quiter side of the town. We were able to sleep (with earplugs) just fine.

Cons:

Out of 3 elevators, 1 or 2 were out of service each day. The hotel room was also very expensive for what you actually get, but the events happening in the city inflated the price significantly. The door to the bathroom dowsn’t really close, and the sink is in the sleeping space and it overflowed one day when washing faces.
Each time when putting the aircon on, unpleasant smell appeared and persisted until aircon was shut down. That was not great, as outside temps were still in mid 20’s celcius.

Pros:

L'espace très petit mais bien pensé et aménagé, et la proximité avec beaucoup de points touristiques et métros.

Cons:

Beaucoup de poussière jamais en arrivant et jamais ramassé (en 4 jours) sur les tablettes et lampes juste au dessus du lit, au sol en dessous du bureau où on stockait nos bagages.

Pros:

The location in midtown is great

Cons:

Toilet are too public, even if I'm with my partner, I'd expect some privacy while I'm doing the number 2.
