fine stay!
smooth check-in helpful staff stylish decor excellent location
Brahim assisted us greatly when taxi access was difficult. He even moved our luggage three blocks and secured a cab for us! lucas ensured a smooth check-in process. i really love the decor in the room and bathroom. It's stylish and functional. the location is great, perfect for exploring nearby attractions.
The charge of £0.50 for a local call felt a bit unnecessary.
