8/10 Very Good! (188 reviews)

The check-in was seamless. Room was very spacious; and beds extremely comfortable. The only downside is the bathroom that was not heated and very cold in September; there was draught coming through the window. The shower fixture was broken too. But overall it was good, it is conveniently centrally located close to the main stations for access to trains and airports
