A bit disappointing, as the room is somewhat small for two people.
Pros:

The bed was good

Cons:

​The air conditioning wasn't good, and there was no mini-fridge in the room. Additionally, whenever we used the shower, the bathroom flooded because of poor drainage, forcing us to wait a long time for the floor to dry.

Trade-off between comfort and location
Pros:

Very central location, close to the central station, iconic neighborhoods, etc.

Cons:

The single room is very small; it isn't suitable for spending time in—only for sleeping or using the bathroom. Its biggest advantage is also a drawback: the location. Being so central means there is a lot of noise from bars and people at night. It also gets very hot and humid in the summer, and the fan wasn't enough.

not terrible but not terrific either
Pros:

the covert access, the included fan, redundant light switches by the beds. the shelf with the outlets.

Cons:

pillows like couch throw pillows, the shower drain didn't drain fast enough to not overflow, same story for the sink. no washcloths included or available. Tv not hooked up to channels. WIFI not accessing wan. bathroom floor by toilet was sticky. no elevators. 4+ levels... and the steps were nearly vertical, not great when your target audience is tipsy coming home.

Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable. El personal es agradable. Las camas son cómodas a pesar de ser pequeñas.

Cons:

La habitación era pequeña, aunque decente. Hacía calor a pesar de los ventiladores. La ducha no está separada físicamente del resto del baño.
