I appreciate the 24/7 front desk-very convenient-and the fact that there's on-site entertainment, though the rooms remain quiet.

Artistic charm close to the city center

cozy styleflatscreen tvinadequate soundproofing
The location is superb. It allows easy access to the metro. I appreciated the modern and cozy style of the hotel and the room. The big flatscreen TV allowed me to watch YouTube and Netflix easily. The staff moved me to the correct date without any charge, since i accidentally booked for the wrong night.
The bar downstairs was not adequately soundproofed. The noise made it hard to sleep. I could clearly hear the music from my room. The vibrations of the bass shook the room and rattled metal fixtures.
