10/10 Excellent
"This hotel delivered a very good experience across the board. The room is clean. The facilities were intuitive and modern, but the Chromecast connection for the TV was difficult to set up. Beyond the room itself, the property’s convenient location made exploring effortless, placing major transit links within easy walking distance. It serves as an ideal base for any traveler, and I would gladly return."

"Good hotel and helpful staff. Rooms were clean and fine. Only issue for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the included free dinner was not very good at least the day we stayed. Either offer a good free dinner or don't offer at all so guests can plan accordingly. Nevertheless, I would stay here again."

"The apartment was large with three bedrooms. Two had bunk beds and one had a double bed. There were also two bathrooms, very small, but having two was a surprise. The kitchen was poorly equipped- no microwave, no baking dish and zero pans to cook in. We had three large pots- that's it. You can't cook chicken or fry eggs in giant pots. The door was really hard to close and everything could use some TLC."
