The property itself met my expectations. I was particularly impressed by how quiet my room was. I hate to complain, but I was not prepared for a non air-conditioned experience, especially because the window in the room was on a timer and kept closing itself. Also the location is not central to the tourist attractions. Be advised that the restaurant is not open on Saturday and Sunday. Closest bars are 15 minute walk.

good location, nice staff, rooms are nice and a good value. laundry is a service provided, in the sense that it is taken from you room and done for you. its very expensive. quite unfortunate. there is also not a microwave or fridge. the wet bathroom is also a little messy sometimes. overall good. close to tram. must shout out the very cool floor to ceiling windows that open.

Recommended place; very good

This place is really nice and super clean with modern design; we really enjoyed our staying there. Not very close to touristy area, but I can't say the location was not good as it was very close to Kappeli station. The only issue that made me not feeling 5-star was that there was not a fridge in the room.
