Great, but not good enough.
Pros:

Overall feeling of luxury, rich breakfast (although a bit too Chinese oriented), good downtown location, room had a nice view (not spectacular), well equipped gym.

Cons:

The room had two beds, although it was three of us (and we had booked and paid for triple occupancy). When we complained, we were offered a removable bed at 30% of the price. Very disappointing.
The lobby area was too small.
The gym was always too busy and in that regard was too small for the number of hotel guests.
Cleaning service was too persistent, they announced the day before the time they would come and they would just come. It was possible to reschedule, but why hassle the guests that way?

Beautiful honeymoon stay!
Pros:

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. They welcomed us with balloons and cakes, which was such a thoughtful and special touch. The hotel is very comfortable, modern, and beautifully designed, and the location is excellent — perfect for exploring the city. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding, truly a 10/10. Everything felt high-quality and carefully curated.

Cons:

The concierge service wasn’t that helpful when we asked for advice. The recommendations were to visit very touristy places without any distinctive features, the same as you could find online.
