Pros:

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Very comfy bed, clean room, nice shower.

Cons:

The walls are very thin, so you can hear chats in the next room. Very compact room. Unfortunately my stay overlapped with Harry Styles being in concert, so the room was overpriced to my mind. Not the hotel's fault, but I felt I overpaid.

Just ok but you can do better with a different hotel
Pros:

The hotel is just fine. Can you stay there? Yes. Will you enjoy the experience? Probably not. If you’re looking for a place close to the center to just sleep it’s fine. But I am sure you can find something nicer especially considering the prices.
The rooms are tiny (which I am ok with) but there was no place at all to put a suitcase. And there‘s no closet or dresser just a hanging clothes rail (which was too low so e.g. medi dresses drag on the floor), no place to put folded clothes. Room was pretty dirty/dusty, carpet was VERY dirty. Room was not cleaned on first day even though we were gone for six hours so there was plenty of time. Most rooms have floor the ceiling balcony doors that go to a kind of courtyard, meaning you‘ll have other rooms with the same window/door setup that look directly into your room so there is no privacy and you have to keep the blackout curtains closed all the time.
You hear everything: people walking around in their rooms, drawers on the nightstand being opened, people having s*x… so overall unpleasant.
DEFINITELY SKIP BREAKFAST. Don’t pay for that. The service was horrendous. Everyday there were several food items already gone and not refilled or only refilled after us asking the staff. Breakfast runs till 11, so I would expect that at 9:30 e.g. the scrambled eggs will be refilled if empty. No hard boiled eggs, no scrambled eggs, bacon almost gone, no rolls, juice almost empty, cheese almost empty (and kind of dry), no sugar, no spoons, no tea spoons, no milk… the list goes on. Very bad service, especially for the price point.

Not returning!
Pros:

The staff was lovely and they allowed us to leave our luggage with them after check out.

Cons:

Very noisy from a ventilation system. I was told by staff that it couldn’t be turned off. The room was cold even after raising the thermostat temperature to 23. Dusty and stains.

Third time staying here, would do so again!
Pros:

Comfortable and stylish, well located on the edge of everything within reach without being busy and noisy

Cons:

Construction around the area FYI but that’s temporary, and did not affect my sleeping.
