Very friendly staff. Hotel looked modern and clean, it felt more like a 4 star hotel. Short walk to bus and subway. Breakfast had lots of choices. Free things given such as night wear, toothbrushes, shavers etc which is so rare in europe.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I greatly appreciated the little amenities and efforts by the concierges. I brought shoes that soon proved worn out, but the complimentary house slippers made excellent temporary insoles. Developed quite a few blisters of course, but they always had a bandage or three when I asked. And they had me covered for money changing as well, taking such a headache off my plate when I found all the public transit needed exact change. All in all it was the staff that saved my trip with such little touches.
