9/10 Wonderful! (1,395 reviews)

Conveniently located with a subway immediately in front of the hotel. Seems as though the hotel rooms are undergoing upgrades / modernisation. I stayed in one of the old rooms which was unfortunately outdated and looking worse for wear. I’m sure the rooms will look great once updated.
