Gutes Hotel mit einer ordentlichen Zimmergröße und außergewöhnlichen Lage
Pros:

Die Lage war unglaublich. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten liegen in Laufreichweite. Die Bahnen für Anbindungen in alle Himmelsrichtungen waren gut erreichbar.
Zu den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten musste ich gar nicht oder höchstens einmal umsteigen

Pros:

The location was wonderful, and within walking distance to all the main attractions. A really fun Karaoke bar next door which I would highly recommend. Staff was very accommodating.

Cons:

For the price, the room was very, very small, and the beds definitely could use an upgrade. Not comfortable.

Good!
Pros:

I loved the location and the bathtube, perfect to rest my feet. The bed was super confortable.

Cons:

It was a little bit loud. You could hear every time someone walked outside the room.
