The contact-less check-in solution was excellent and the location is super central. However, I would not have booked this hotel if I had understood that the toilet and shower facilities were shared with other hotel guests. It was probably stated somewhere, but I did not see it so it is on me. But would for this reason not book again.

The location is great and the room was clean. I'm not sure what amenities there are; coffee and tea in the room maybe? There really is no staff. If you have a problem you can reach someone via the phone in the lobby but that only works on the time. This is a digital check in and operation.

The room was comfortable enough, but the price is shockingly high for what you get. The bathroom door slider lock wasn't secured, and a screw fell out of the contraption from normal use during our stay. Check-in procedure is self-led through an email they sent, so be sure to watch your emails (no staff present at check-in). We would have loved to open the windows, but there didn't appear to be a way to keep them open, and they were very heavy and cumbersome.

Our room was on the forth floor and there is no elevator. So we had to carry our luggage up all of those small twisty carpeted steps. Not fun and not possible for my elderly mother. They also had our room clean early but wouldn’t let us in it early to leave our luggage. No very helpful. Also our bathroom was the size of a closet with a very small phone booth for a shower. Not great but clean for a short stay.
