  Good location but noise was not great

  Liked: Great location.

  Disliked: We had to check in around the corner and breakfast was also around the corner in a different building. They were doing painting work in the hallway but started at 8 am and were loud. Also cleaning staff started early and made lots of noise. In the rooms you could hear all the noise and even noise from upstairs people that live in the same building.

  Great stay- clean, quiet, and basic while still feeling chic

  Liked: The staff around the corner were very helpful for check-in, storing my luggage, and it was a beautiful and relaxing place to wait and relax. The apart hotel itself was quiet, clean, well stocked, and incredibly convenient.
