Clean room, great location only 10 minutes from train station, great value for money in a very expensive city. Breakfast a bit limited and bland.

Great location and value. I usually stay at higher end hotels but was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and how modern this place was. Except for a hair on the bathroom ceiling, the place was clean and comfortable.
