9/10 Wonderful! (772 reviews)

Loved this place! Such a cool vibe - great lobby, with a resident bar that stays open late, awesome gym, pool/steam room/sauna, helpful and friendly staff. Offers late check out (for fee) and luggage hold. In a very walkable area. You have to key in and key out of the floors outside the lift, so there’s an added layer of security for the rooms. I Loved the mini fridge and water boiler in the room - it made it easy to keep leftovers, make tea, etc in room. They have a filtered water station in the lobby for refill needs. it is next to the train station, but the trains stop running at night, and I used noise cancelling headphones.
