This is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. Lovely staff, comfortable bed and beautiful common areas. The rooms were small, but beautifully designed with all the mod cons (blinds and light auto-adjusted as I walked in) and lovely little touches like the tea pot and chocolates. Walking distance to train station. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again

Nice, modern and comfortable room, though the digital light switches take sometime to get used to. Bed positioned between 2 walls would be hard for older people to climb in and out of. Overall an excellent room.

We appreciated the hotel staff’s friendliness and enthusiasm, which made us feel very welcome. The minimalistic design of the hotel also added to the pleasant ambience. The only issue was the positioning of the AC vent which directed airflow straight toward the bed. We could feel constant breeze overt our faces throughout the night, which unfortunately impacted our sleep quality. We hope this could be adjusted for future guests.

The rooms were so small and felt like a shoebox. I don't think that they have any idea of the effects of EMF biologically. Because everything was wifi and electronic controlled. If you are sensitive to EMF then you will definitely feel it here. Room literally as wide as the bed. There were no staff to greet you on arrival. You check in at a kiosk and it spits your access card out. It felt very much like a cheap modular closet slapped up quickly. (I bet it beat construction time records). Some may like the minimal human interaction but i hated it. I felt like i was constantly monitored. And the layer of dust ontop of the cupboard was ewww. (Needed to put my bag up there cause there was no room to store anything) Only thing i liked was the bed. It was like laying on a cloud. But it isnt enough to make it worth it and i won't be staying there again.
