Pros:

The room! Big, spacious, new, clean, the shower was great! You even get an amenity kit. Also, bottles of water are available 24/7 at the reception. The hotel is close to the metro. The supermarket is around the corner, as well as cafes and restaurants. The bus connection to the airport is 5 minutes walking distance.

Cons:

Nothing!!

Nice hotel with excellent location
Pros:

Excellent location, lively neighborhood with restaurants and shops, 5 min walk from the metro, nice room with bathtub and separate cabin shower. The room is not cleaned during your stay, unless you request it. I think this is good, no need for cleaning after every day.

2.房间干净卫生，空间很大。
