MediocreApr 20203.0
Good location and rooms are as advertised. In this location you can pay crazy money so if you are a solo traveler this could be ideal. Rooms don’t have a WC but do have a sink.
Left some rather expensive sunglasses at reception. Despite multiple emails no one bothered to reply. Not hard to respond to something as basic as that. It’s cheap butt probably wont stay there again. Small things.

We had to checkout 5 days earlier because of the covid-19, and the hotel was fair, and didn't charge us whole 10 days. The staff was excellent during the stay, hotel room was clean.
Do to covid-19, we had to checkout 5 days earlier.

Very well located, close to Subway entrance that you can use to go or come from the airport. Room was small but comfortable and clean. The people at the entrance desk were very helpful. There's a rooftop were you can spend some time at the end of the day enjoying nice views of the city and there's a bar next to the ground floor with very good atmosphere. It's definitely a place that we'll repeat in the future
In order to say something, the room was small but it's not a big deal, specially when you use the room only for rest. Maybe the only thing that we missed most is a little fridge.

Good vibe. Really good staff. Good location.
The room was a bit tight for space but definitely comfortable and had everything you needed, minus tea/coffee making facilities.
