Rooms are so small. No fridge. No breakfast or lunch option unless you leave the hotel. We paid for the underground parking but they don't keep track of it and there was not a single spot to park. I would not come back to this hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is absolutely beautiful though.

Room was somewhat loud in the mornings (could hear people in the hallway and cars on the street, which woke us up). Probably the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in, very modern too. Walkable to nice restaurants and shops, including a grocery store across the street. Bed was a bit stiff. No safe in the room. No breakfast included. Quick check-in process. Nice view from the room.

Comfortable

It was generally a comfortable stay. Nothing significant to complain about except the pillows becomes so thin after a few minutes of using it.
