Fantastic staff and location. But small bathroom
Pros:

Open bar 2pm-8pm. Wonderful staff. Excellent location

Cons:

The bathroom was a bit small. I wouldn’t recommend it for large people. And as we were by the elevator lifts, it could get a little noisy. Having said that, the sound proofing was excellent because it could have been much worse!

Pros:

Todo muy limpio, el café y cerveza disponibles es muy buen detalle.

Cons:

La ubicación, dado que al estar por la parte baja de la estación principal, a veces es confuso por ser atravesar la estación, dado que la mayoría de lugares interesantes se encuentran hacia el otro costado.
