I had booked a non-smoking room. the room reeked of smoke. The staff did not remove the soft drinks from the mini bar after I requested it. The room floor also had visible dirt, which I found disappointing.

surprising gem in the city

spacious roomssmart tvsprompt service
the rooms are spacious with smart tvs, i could easily stream from my phone. room service was prompt and the quality was good. the super king bed was large (though maybe a bit too many topper layers made it slightly lumpy).
the location felt a bit remote, taxis seemed necessary for getting around.
