The hotel location was perfect : central enough but quiet, close to metro & buses, very short walking distance from the main restaurants area.

There are restaurants in every direction steps from the entrance and there is a nice grocery store a few doors down. The rooms are clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful amenities. The...

We could smell smoke and they... More

I resisted taking a cab, and instead figured out the subway system, which was convenient indeed. Nevertheless ended up in the wrong hotel, it is kinda confusing with another similarly-named hotel with a "spa"... More
