Good hotel in a scary neighborhood
Very comfortable bed! Clean room. Near the central train station with all types of transportation access. However, the hotel is in a scary neighborhood with homeless people.

Wonderful stay
Great stay at the hotel. The location is a bit dodge but once you’re inside the hotel, it’s like you’re in another world. Modern. Funky. Nice furniture. Very comfortable bed and the beddings. Friendly staff (Nina and Noa).

Hotel room was okay; the breakfast was decent and staff friendly. However, the area around the hotel is not that safe as there are lots of people on drugs.

Didn't feel comfortable here
I would absolutely not recommend this property to women traveling alone or families. It is in an "up and coming" neighborhood and I wish I has stayed elsewhere

Nice overnight stay
I just booked an overnight stay for a concert. The hotel was great. The location was convenient, the room was clear, spacious, and comfortable, and staff was very nice. The only negative is that the area of the hotel is not very nice (being located so close to the train station), so I would advise caution when not in the room.

The hotel itself is very nice and clean. The staff was great. They have a wonderful breakfast! It was conveniently located for us, as we arrived by train, but the area around the train station is quite dirty and felt unsafe. Lijely looked worse than it is, but not a first good impression of the city. But not the hotel's fault!
