The room was lovely. A good size, very clean, soundproofed, and in a super location. The small kitchen area, and the balcony were an added bonus. 2 things to note before staying:- There is no reception/ staff. It is all online/automatic. There is no housekeeping service during the stay (we stayed 3 nights so that is manageable) Additionally, the pool is currently closed for renovation (we wouldn't have used it anyway as the weather wasn't the best)

We were unable to stay in the room and had to book another hotel. The room had a stale odor, a tiny bed and furniture in poor damaged condition. There is no front desk and no parking. After several days of no response the hotel offered no compensation and we had to pay for two hotels for the same nights. The location was good.
