We loved staying at this hotel. It is immaculate, beautifully designed, the staff are so helpful, and you are close to so many great sightseeing and shopping areas. The rooms are so comfortable and modern. Our room had a private sauna and oxygen bath, it was like having your own little private spa. It was quiet at night and we slept well. Can’t recommend it enough.

For the price, I’d rather pay less and stay further away. It was way too crowded at the hotel and surrounding areas. There is also zero amenities besides the laundry room which was a nightmare of its own. For a hotel of this size, there were two washers and one dryer. Guests were pulling other guests clothes out….
