"The exterior is a mess, but the interior is partly lovely. The rooms are small but tastefully renovated and very cozy. The bed, in particular, is incredibly comfortable. However, the rest of the building is ancient, which is especially noticeable in the cramped and rattly elevators from the 1960s. I had a room at the back, so it was quiet. Rooms facing the street, however, can be noisy. The price-performance ratio is very good."

These two new room were not so cramped like the room which was given to me yesterday. They were slightly larger, just like the photos listed in the app. The breakfast was also good. But don’t expect things like air conditioner, dental kit or water bottles."

"My son really loved the hotel's design aesthetic. The room's decor perfectly matched the overall industrial, factory-like theme of the hotel. There was no kettle, coffee machine, or fridge in the room; if you needed anything, you had to go down to the bar. We bought some ham and fruit but couldn't finish it, so we had to store it in the fridge downstairs. The classic European breakfast offered very few hot dishes, mostly cold items. Luckily, there's a large Chinese supermarket nearby, which satisfied my Chinese palate!"
