Very good location -- Ximen metro area, 2-3 blocks from the metro entrance. Hotel staff was helpful and responsive, but not outwardly and affirmatively friendly. No complaints! Rooms (I actually stayed twice, at beginning and end of trip) are clean, modern, up-to-date, well-equipped, wit a very comfortable bed. Very nice, in short. Downside is size and natural light. Having stayed twice, I saw three different rooms (two I stayed in plus one I rejected as just too small and claustrophobic). The first one on my first stay was just fine - decent size and though not window in BR, there was a window in the bath and the shower (two separate rooms), and that light filtered into the BR through glass doors. On return to the hotel, I was assigned a miniature room with a window approx 1"x1" in the bath. I just couldn't stay in that, so asked to be moved. The staff happily complied, and gave me a windowless though larger room. It was just fine for a one-night stay. Though many rooms have little or no natural light, they are not "dark" in that there is gracious plenty artificial light. All said, I would definitely stay there again, but get an upgraded room for size and light.
