    rooftop terrace

    Great location, clean room

    Location is top-notch, just a block from the subway. The single room had air conditioning, a flat-screen tv, and private bathroom—all essentials! Daily housekeeping kept things tidy. The rooftop terrace offers awesome views of the city, perfect for chilling out and snapping pics. Easy access to restaurants and cafes nearby is a bonus.

    rooftop deck
    prime location
    easy access
    cramped room

    The rooftop deck offers a great escape from the city buzz, perfect for catching some sun or enjoying the skyline. The location is prime, just a short walk to key attractions and subway stations, which makes getting around a breeze.

    The single pod room felt cramped, reminiscent of a space in the Millenium Falcon's hold. Air conditioning struggled to cool things down adequately, and thin walls amplified neighboring sounds to quite the degree—ideal if you're flying solo, but not a romantic setting by any means. Unfortunately, the lack of a fridge also made it inconvenient to store leftovers from those pricey meals.

    awkward situation

    Perfect location with a cozy atmosphere

    I had a cozy stay for 2 nights in a room with a private bathroom. Everything was clean and fresh, and the little lobby café was a great spot for morning coffee. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views and was a fantastic place to unwind after a day of exploring. The only downside was that the bathroom doors didn't provide much privacy, which can be awkward at times.

    great location

    long queues
    poor privacy

    I enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and quiet in a great location. It was just a short walk to many landmarks. I found it perfect for my busy schedule. The staff helped me plan my visit, which made everything easier. As someone from Italy, I appreciated the daily tours offered, really helped me explore the city more.

    The elevators had long queues, which was inconvenient. The bathroom privacy could be better since the door didn't close properly. It lacked a guest bathroom in the lobby for after checkout.

    I had an amazing time! The rooftop garden was such a fantastic retreat, and the daily housekeeping kept everything clean. Loved grabbing coffee from the in-house cafe and relaxing by the picnic tables.

    My stay was fantastic, largely due to the incredible location that made it easy to explore the city. I really appreciated the staff, who went out of their way to assist with any inquiries and even helped plan my itinerary. The rooftop area was a highlight, providing a great space to relax after a busy day. However, I did find the shared bathrooms could get a bit busy at times.

    Unboxing my experience

    Tucked away in a bustling neighborhood, I appreciated the vibrant rooftop terrace and the proximity to major attractions. The room was compact—as expected for city standards—but impeccably clean. The unexpected facility fee at check-in was a minor hiccup, yet the friendly staff more than made up for it. Great for those on the go!
