We stayed in room 451 for 1 night. The toilet flush was working so it was extremely inconvenient and we had to use the toilet on the first floor!!! Highly inconvenient!

I love the location, very walkable to so many restaurants, museums and shops. It's also a couple mins walk to the bus stop that will take you and from the airport. The room I had was facing Old town so the view was amazing. It was a little loud being on the 3rd floor, I could hear the buses when they pass by but not an issue so much at night. The room and the bathroom are clean, the bed is pretty comfortable. They were unable to accommodate me for early check in but they had free luggage storage. The reception and housekeeping staff were all nice and friendly. I definitely would book this hotel again in the future.
