Reviews for Shinjuku Granbell Hotel

Review 1：Hotel is only 2 years old so not many cab drivers know the location of the hotel. On our arrival we caught taxi from Shibjuku station twice but both times the cab driver got lost and didnt know where the hotel was located. Hotel Reception desk has a address in Japanese which seems to be understandable by most cab drivers and it makes it easy to reach the hotel. This address is not advertised on websites like expedia.

Review 2：Restaurants and Convenience store is nearby. Breakfast is good and has decent options Train station is nearby as it is a 5 minute walk Bed is comfortable and good decor.

Review 3：Perhaps a touch expensive for what is relatively similar to other places around Shinjuku that seem to be a bit cheaper.

Review 4：Nice and clean, and a pretty good location too.

Review 5：No shuttle bus to the airport and on asking for a taxi we were advised our ski bag would not fit. A hotel minibus to transport to the bus stop would be a good idea. The hotel is not capatilising at all on the stunning bar and eating area. The staff in the bar were rather unwelcoming and the prices were ridiculously high hence we stayed for one drink and left. Such a shame as so much potential.

Review 6：Lovely rooms, even if they were small and cramped, they provided everything on the tick list a guest could ask for apart from room to open your suitcase. Hotel decor and interior was beautiful, fresh and designer. The breakfast was good although the understanding of how to cook an international breakfast was lacking and the choice of a traditional japanese breakfast was limited. The views from the eating and bar areas were amazing!

Review 7：This is as good as it gets for a very decent mid-range hotel in Shinjuku, which is the obvious choice for convenience in Tokyo. You get a very decent room for the money and location, and the restaurant/rooftop bar are a nice bonus

Review 8：The room was probably too small for my liking, but it's Japan and it's probably a standard size for Tokyo.

Review 9：The rooms were clean and the location excellent. Close to the main attractions in Kyoto and the main JR station in Shinjuku. Breakfast was excellent and the staff very polite. They spoke. English so this made it easier for us.

Review 10：The outside rooftop bar area views into most of the rooms. You have this great luxurious bath up against the window to relax in but you have little privacy with the blind up when taking in the views.

Review 11：Excellent room with a spacious bathroom almost as large as the bedroom. Very quiet as we were concerned about being beside the lift. Staff were wonderful and helpful.

Review 12：While we were staying. My step son who was also staying became ill. The staff were great getting us medical help and allowing him to rest up for longer in a room. Well done!

Review 13：WiFi was slow almost useless Staff in the bar/restaurant where not very attentive or friendly.

Review 14：Location, cleanliness, front desk staff excellent

Review 15：It would have been good if there was a transfer provided to narita airport.

Review 16：The double room and its amenities were clean and spacious enough for the two of us. We were comfortable during our stay.

Review 17：Power cut for 6 hours made it difficult as I was traveling with pregnant daughter who like to rest in afternoon. No compensation for this inconvenience!

Review 18：Staff excellent

Review 19：Very small rooms, even when you choose to upgrade to the designer series... Be warned that its not in the best area of Shinjuku - it is surrounded by dodgy 'by the hour' hotels which are designed for one thing and one thing only.... Glad we checked out early on the 5th of Jan, as they put up a last minute notice stating that all electricity and power would be cut off from the hotel from midday till 5pm. And that no rooms or elevators would be accessible between these hours... Feel sorry for the people who were wanting to leave or checkout mid afternoon...

Review 20：Very nice staff and everything is clean and tidy

Review 21：I loved the rooftop bar which has excellent panoramic views of Tokyo and great cocktails. The restaurant where they serve breakfast also had good international food options and great views. The staff were very friendly and spoke English well. The location was excellent being a 5 minute walk away from Higashi-Shinuku Station.

Review 22：Too far walking from Shinjuku staion as solo female traveler alone , especially through red light district. Not as comfortable at night.

Review 23：Comfort of hotel - nice

Review 24：The place is very nice very convinient as long as you are familiar with area. The hotel is located a bit inside a side street so, it is best that take a taxi from train station especially if you have more than a carry on. But once you get familiar with the area there is plenty to do and food to eat.

Review 25：The breakfast room was noisy and crowded.

Review 26：Tastefully decorated rooms. Tiny space, but well designed layout, so everything worked. Except no extra space or drawer / closet to unpack your luggage.

Review 27：Inconsistent customer service: one day the room was impeccably cleaned, the other time, it seems that they rushed through the whole process - did not clean the coffee cups, empty the trash, replaced the consummables. Front desk was a mix: some were very eager to assist while there was a lady who gave you the look/feel she'd rather be somewhere else. Eating breakfast was like eating at a school cafeteria: food trays, tired-looking people, tired-looking food.

Review 28：The hotel is centrally located, within walking distances to most places of interest. Clean, well maintained facilities. The rooms had a complete set of toilet amenities. Toilet seat was an 'adventure' to figure out how to operate and a blast to use!

Review 29：Friendly staff,very helpful.the rooms were modern and clean and easy to use.the toiletries were lovely to use. The laundry facility and machines in the lobby for snacks was fantastic.having a bar fridge to use was fantastic also

Review 30：Booked non smoking room as we bring a baby with us and room assigned was stated as non smoking but miraculously the room reek of tobacco smell the moment we stepped in and it was suffocating! The Windows can't be open for ventilation and so we called the desk and was advised to get a humidifier from level 9! The humidifier was so small and it wasn't isn't a purifier, it thus didn't make the smell go off and in fact it was worst. The bathroom especially smell worst with tobacco smell. We went out and back and yet the smell just got stronger. By midnight we really can't get to sleep due to the bad smell and we called the desk again, this time they decided we should change to another room. By the time we get ourselves settled its 1.30am already and we were dead tired! We went tru the hassle of unpacking and repacking our luggages! The next room we change too smell so much better!!! It's totally different from the first room we were assigned to! They should have checked the room before assigning to guests so we won't have to go tru all the hassle and unpleasant events! The first day experience wasn't good and in fact it makes me sick with the thought of having to go back to the suffocating room which reek of tobacco smell! I was very sick the next day and it spoil my holiday totally!

Review 31：Hotel is modern and nice. Staffs can speak English!

Review 32：Check in was slow.Room was one of the smallest during my Japan trip. Pillows were not comfortable, too hard.

Review 33：Vending machines in the hotel. Clean and modern rooms.

Review 34：Why did this come up when searching Tokyo city? It's a fair train ride away from Tokyo city. Wonderful hotel though.

Review 35：Lovely and modern. Clean and luxurious

Review 36：Just felt that the service and attitude of some of the staff was poor, and not like the warmth and helpfulness so many of the places I have stayed in Japan have provided.

Review 37：Good, clean, if small rooms. Good location to walk into Shinjuku and transport links.

Review 38：This hotel is very far from Shinjuku station. I had a few luggage so had to take a taxi. I wish I stayed near station. The room is very tiny too. It's not worth the money.

Review 39：The hotel is nice & comfortable, staff are helpful, rooms are clean & not too small comparatively. Located about 10 mins away from the Shinjuku Station, many shops on the way to the hotel, so it is okay for me. The neighborhood is safe although it is near the Kabukicho (red-light district).

Review 40：It was hard time to arrive there from Sinjuku station. It's little bit far, but if you take a taxi, it was under 800 Yen.

Review 41：It was clean and good bathroom as well as room. I used the bathtub and it can help me to be relexed.

Review 42：Finding the hotel, cost per night, poor view in original room. After requesting a change we settled into a room with a lovely view.

Review 43：Room size, Rooftop bar, excellent bathroom and cleanliness

Review 44：Was actually lost when getting there. Took to JR Shinjuku and was told by the local police officer outside the station that i need to walk about 10mins(more than that i think) to reach. But when u get to know the other station which surprise me with Square Enix entrance, it's actually not bad.Travel wise to famous area like Tokyo station, Shibuya, Harajuku etc, was actually a headache, as i got to change to about 2 metro/subway line to Tokyo stations. Room wise was ok, i have the one with loft, got to be real careful when u step up the stairs. Scary mini stairs.. :) Self Laundry was actually ok, but when it come to the dryer.. there were only one. So if there's other using it, u really need to be patience and wait(worse case for me is like i left 12mins till the washing machine ended, Dryer was occupy and when it end, the person felt it not dry and inserted another 30mins)... i got to wait for like another 30mins.. And remb there's no chair or small coach in the laundry area, either u sit on floor and wait or go back to ur room. Make sure u return and collect ur stuff!

Review 45：Love the view out from my room! I can see Tokyo tower(although it's abit far, but when it came at night!) Lovely lights up the tower! Best surprise is Square Enix building is right infront too!! The staff was good in service and warm welcome. They can speak good english. Vending machine was in variety choices at hotel lobby. About the red light street, i find it quite ok, area was quiet unless u walk up to the noisy busy entertainment streets. other wise im okay with the peaceful :)

Review 46：Didn't notice that the hotel is in the heart of the Kabuki-cho area when I made the booking. Prepared to be hassled by the various high-class pimps, strip-show hustlers, and other unsavory characters that throng the streets of kabuki-cho area while you walk to and from the hotel from Shinjuku station. Also, the hotels immediately surround Granbell are love hotels. So prepared to be embarrassed if you are walking through the area with family members. Depending who you are traveling with and what you are in Japan for, this might actually be a plus.

Review 47：Excellent location, very clean and everything is in great condition. Staff are also very helpful and friendly.

Review 48：Air circulation was bad. I couldn't breath well when I was there.and I got allergy and runny nose. Luckily, they provided air purifiers at the aisle, anyone can take to their room.

Review 49：My only comment would be that my wifi did not work on the restaurant level when I was eating breakfast. Otherwise, everything else was wonderful.

Review 50：Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Good for travellers who don't speak much Japanese. Great wifi. Good value with included breakfast.

Review 51：The staff needs much training on how to handle guest. I was marched out of my room at 1215pm. Granted the check out was 12pm, but usually at 'normal' hotels, they give a courtesy call. Checking in was also a great disappointment.

Review 52：The room was nice but had a mouldy smell.

Review 53：The breakfast options were a little limited and bland. The staff were competent in the basics of their job, but weren't very engaging or willing to go out of their way with helping with restaurant bookings, and did little to try and manage large groups of rowdy and loud mainland tourists who seemed to arrive by the bus load each morning.

Review 54：Free wine for guests of the upper floor. The outdoor terrace bar was also nice. The upgraded room (casual suite) was quite large -- for Tokyo, and the bed was large and comfortable.

Review 55：Dark lobby area not terribly inviting. Small room

Review 56：Very friendly helpful staff. Easy walk to everywhere we wanted to visit. Best and fanciest toilet in all of Japan. Had a package delivered to the hotel which was immediately ready on check-in.

Review 57：Rooftop bar is quite expensive. Staff wouldn't let us up to take pictures without hassling us to order (even though we were guests at the hotel)

Review 58：Good size room for Japan. Good location.

Review 59：Hike from Shinjuku station which is where the airport train departs from. The bathroom having a frosted glass wall right next to the bed.

Review 60：The room was extremely comfortable. Amenities such shower gel, shampoo etc were great. Roof top bar had awesome views.

Review 61：A wifi is too slow, even use in room but i often got lost wifi connection while staying there.

Review 62：A room is very clean and there is a room cleaning service everyday. Also, a city view from room is just perfect.

Review 63：Dinning room is not so clean as I expect but mostly is because of careless visitor. I thought the staffs will clean the space right away but obviously they do not. There are only two wash machines for customers.

Review 64：Room and facility are brand new. The room is big and cozy for two people.

Review 65：The location itself is awesome, you are right in the middle of Shinjuku, only 5 minutes walk from shopping, many restaurants and the red light district. However it is about a 15 minute walk from Shinkjuku station, which is also the busiest in the world, and getting to and from the train station with luggage in tow was difficult. We were travelling on a budget and splurged the last two nights, it was well worth it and we loved the hotel, but it was a bit of a hassle when catching the subway with luggage. Also the western breakfast at the hotel was a little lacking. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't of great quality so would go without it next time and eat at restaurants located around the hotel.

Review 66：We stayed in a more expensive room and the room was so luxurious. Awesome view over the city and the bed was so comfortable. It was clean and tidy. The room was really new and modern and styled perfectly. Toilet was electric and had a bidet, shower was roomy and clean and had both waterfall shower head and the corded shower head. I didn't have a lot to do with the staff but when I did they were so helpful, and provided what we needed as well as most of the staff can speak very good English.

Review 67：not such generous hotel when they gave the welcome drink, but force to order food, otherwise no welcome drink. then it's not a welcome drink.

Review 68：the room is quite big for the money i paid, very clean and comfortable beds.

Review 69：The surroundings are not Tokyo's prime!...

Review 70：Fabulous design suite....very stylish and very comfortable!.... Great roof terrace facing towards the Sjinjuku business district. Very friendly staff! Close to Higashi-Skinjuku station on the metro F line.

Review 71：The rooms were much smaller than they looked in the pictures. Now, I have been to Japan many times before, and I know that especially in Tokyo, space is at a premium, but this place was really tiny. Had not been for the very high ceilings I would've almost felt like I was in a capsule. Additionally, while the hotel is only a short walk from Kabukicho, it's actually not extremely convenient to most of the subway lines at Shinjuku station. With all this in mind, I think the price is a bit higher than it should be.

Review 72：The decor and design of the hotel were very sophisticated. The staff were very warm and proficient in English.

Review 73：Location - walk from the Tokyo Metro station to the hotel seemed unsafe with the numerous night clubs along the way which could not be avoided. Room was extremely small for the price paid even though I know most hotel rooms are pretty small in Tokyo. Could have gotten a better room in a better location elsewhere for the same price. Lobby is extremely small and the walk-up from the road to the lobby proved cumbersome with the lack of help from hotel staff or even a proper walkway.

Review 74：Nothing.

Review 75：I personally think the staff could have been friendlier, there were not very welcoming. The room had a empty pack of chewing gum on the seat when we walked in and also a piece of wood laminate well from the lamp during our two night stay. The hotel was a little further from the train station and the walk with luggage wasn't fun.

Review 76：We liked that the hotel was modern, the rooms were a decent size, the air conditioning and heating was brilliant the bathroom was a decent size and clean. Shinjuku is a great location without luggage, walking from the hotel there are plenty of spots to eat and a main street is not to far away with an abundance of shops and food spots.

Review 77：Hotel is located in a sleazy part of Shinjuku, near host (male) clubs), which is mostly owned and operated by yakuza (Japanese mafia).

Review 78：Hotel was very modern.

Review 79：I booked a 'superior double', but it more closely resembled the photos of 'economy double'. When I queried this, the only difference it seems is the size of the bed. Located on a lower floor, there was not the view I'd expected, just of the love hotel opposite. The area, although convenient to transport, is in the seedier part of Shinjuku. It wasn't until night time that I noticed this hotel is actually surrounded by love hotels. The staff at were not particularly friendly, or service orientated. They just wanted to check you in as quickly as possible. If you leave your luggage it is stored in the foyer along the window, which cluttered the area.

Review 80：This boutique hotel is fresh and funky. The room was slightly larger than the average Tokyo hotel. The bathroom was spacious, and the bath products were nice. The rooftop bar has an awesome view, day or night. The bar staff were very engaging and attentive. The buffet breakfast has a wide range of options, Western, Japanese, Korean. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping district, and lively night areas. Wifi is good. I'd stay here again, but I'd request a higher floor, and probably a different room type.

Review 81：I liked everything no complaints

Review 82：I loved this Hotel... it was close to everything we walked all over Shinjuku and central.. nice little restuarant next door (back of hotel) great facilities

Review 83：The Granbell has lovely staff who are very accomodating. Everything about our stay was perfect from the moment we arrived. The Penthouse was spectacular and I would highly recommend staying here.

Review 84：The location was just a tiny bit too far from the train/shopping. But as this was our second time in Tokyo before we flew out home it wasn't a huge drama. There was also some painting in the room and hall that could have been redone

Review 85：The facilities in the hotel were amazing, the rooftop bar has a great view and the buffet is well worth it. We stayed in the villa suite and I couldn't be happier at the value for money, I never wanted to leave! The floor to ceiling windows with epic views over Tokyo, extra lounge space and HUGE bathroom were a great way to finish our trip in Japan.

Review 86：The hotel looks it's trying too hard to be desing-ish/ cool / hip etc but at the end it is not. The area around the hotel it's not very nice, I mean it could be good to younger couples, we are 30s, but for us it was not. A lot of gentelman clubs in the area. The room are really small, we were in the standard double. The hotel have a small lobby where all the luggage of the people leaving or arriving too early are packed, so not very nice as a first thing to see. it is not a bad hotel but definetly i expected more by the photos on here and for the price. I've been in cheaper and better hotel in Tokyo and in way better ones for the same price.

Review 87：The staff was the most unfriendly in Japan. The breakfast is very average. The internet wifi is barely functional when too many guest are sharing the weak connections.

Review 88：My guest suite was excellent. Common areas are average.

Review 89：The room is small, and the bed is against a wall making it a little tricky when getting in and out as a couple.

Review 90：Great staff, very friendly and accommodating. They have a range of maps and guides to help you get to where you need to go. The rooms were comfortable and modern but small as most rooms in Japan are. Breakkie buffet was good and worth including if you can. The location is a little north of all the Shinjuku action but makes for a quiet nights sleep. Overall a great stay

Review 91：Rooms a little small when compared to other hotels we used in Japan (Kyoto).

Review 92：Good location and close (easy walking distance) to Shinjuku Railway Station. Friendly staff and very clean rooms.

Review 93：Could have used more space for our luggage but we didn't have high expectations for the room size considering the location and reviews we had read. Beds were a bit firm too.

Review 94：Great buffet breakfast with a good number of vegetarian options. Awesome location near subway station, shopping, and very close to Golden Gai area. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were modern and clean with a nice bathroom.

Review 95：Staff were extremely helpful booking tickets to shows and generally friendly. The room was on the small side but typical to Japan but clean and comfortable. The roof top bar was great still serving food quite late. Although the hotel is located on a back street it was easy access to walk into the hub of nightlife just minutes away inclusive of restaurants to get a sense of the place. If you get an opportunity to book to see the show at the nearby robot restaurant it's worth it.

Review 96：Room was very small and expensive. The transportation in Tokyo is so good that it doesn't worth paying so much to be in the center of shinguku.

Review 97：Great location

Review 98：We could not check-in before 3 p.m.! I find that far too late as in all the other hotels in Kyoto and Osaka it was not a problem. If we wanted to check-in before 15:00 h, we needed to pay around 70 euro extra in an already expensive hotel. The whole lobby was covered with luggage and there were people sleeping in the common areas because of that - we've all had long flights and this extra wait was really annoying.

Review 99：The room was beautifully decorated and spotless! We got toothbrushes and hairbrush in the bathroom. The toilet seat was heated and with an automatic flush. With our executive room on the 16-th floor we got access to the lounge, where free drinks and little snacks were served between 17:00 and 19:00 h. The view over Tokyo skyline was breathtaking!

Review 100：Most of the staff did not speak good English on top of not being the most friendly hosts. The hotel is quite far from the subway(metro)/JR lines... I'd say about 15-20 minute walk depending on how much you have to carry. Also, being in a district where there are myriad bars/ night clubs/ etc... Not so ideal if you have a family or if you have young children with you.

Review 101：The hotel is newer than most we've stayed in and it's quite artsy. They are generous with supplies/toiletries.

Review 102：The toilet was full of cigarette smell when we checked in although it's a non smoking room . The smell was disgusting

Review 103：Great location , only 5-10min walk to shinjuku station , the information desk provided lots of travel information n maps for guests

Review 104：The economy double room is very small for two people particularly after a long journey. Only really suitable for a stay of one or two nights. Clientele is mainly foreign visitors.

Review 105：A few minutes walk from Higashi-Shinjuku underground station. I would recommend using Higashi-Shinjuku as Shinjuku JR station is 20 minutes walk away.

Review 106：The location is not in a nice area. We were refused entry to a local restaurant as we were not Japanese. Charging for use of the television.

Review 107：The care the cleaning staff took with our rooms. The view from the restaurant. Food was okay in all of the eating areas. Nice sitting areas available.

Review 108：We booked a non-smoking room, and while the room itself was fine the hallways all smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Not sure if they have smoking and non-smoking rooms on the same floor or if the scent just travels. Also, smoking is allowed on the outdoor rooftop patio, which is standard for Japan, but still annoying when you're trying to grab a meal and cigarette smoke is wafting in your face. The free WiFi was slow and would sporadically drop signal.

Review 109：Lovely large-for-Tokyo room ("Hollywood Twin") that was clean with a comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. The hotel has a lovely roof-top bar with outdoor patio with decent drinks and beautiful views of Shinjuku. Approximately 10min walk to JR Shinjuku station, with half of the walk on a nice stone pathway. Definitely recommended to come in via JR shinjuku. We walked from Shin-Okubo Station, which google recommended, but the walk was all on crowded large roads or tiny back roads which was inconvenient with luggage. The area of the hotel is in the "red-light" district of Tokyo, but is still incredibly safe and clean. Probably safer than normal neighborhoods in most american cities, definitely don't let the area deter you from staying here.

Review 110：No gym facilities Quality of food for breakfast and in bar/restaurant not up to standard for price and quality of hotel.

Review 111：Excellent design/style of room Excellent location

Review 112：The price is a little bit higher.

Review 113：It was a really nice experience in this hotel ... I'm satisfied for almost everything , except for only price is not friendly compared with other nearby hotel, but the surrounding of this hotel is perfect , and the bed is Simons. The traffic is also attractive convinient.

Review 114：We understand the room size of Shinjuku Granbell Hotel is a bid bigger than other hotel in Tokyo. We can place and open our luggages in two different corners. But the toilet does not have enough space for keeping our own stuffs.

Review 115：The location is very good. It's close to the shopping and eating area. Walking distance to Shinjuku JR Station is around 20 mins which is acceptable to us.

Review 116：The rooms are quite small but this is relatively standard in Tokyo.

Review 117：Nice and clean modern facilities. Close to Shinjuku station. Good spot to commute around Tokyo.

Review 118：Single room size very small Design inside the room not matching the one we see on the pictures. Dull design and oldish for a modern hotel.

Review 119：Location, Modern, Clean

Review 120：Overpriced for the standard of the room. We didn't have the advertised art on the walls as we had expected as well. A little bit of a walk from the station. Hotel gave us 1 drink voucher (for two guests) which wasn't even valid for the roof top bar!

Review 121：Close to the action of Shinjuku! Great view from the roof top bar, although the "Happy Hour" didn't seem to exist when we were there.

Review 122：Nice, clean and neat. Check-In was a breeze and the staff spoke English. Staff also provided me with my parcel that had arrived before I even asked for it.

Review 123：Right smack in a Red light district and no cafes nearby .All hotels by the hour around ,bas scenes in AM hours .Not suitable for families.Small room and no space for one side of he bed .scoot out of the double bed.

Review 124：convenience to Shinjuku station,room layout,comfortable bed toiletries Korean restaurants all around.

Review 125：Not a great location for families. At night, Shinjuku becomes a hive of activity. Which is great. But you get harassed by blokes on the street asking if you want 'a good time' in one of the countless brothels. I found they can get very aggressive if told to go away, and tend to follow you for a while.

Review 126：The staff were exceptionally polite. Each cleaner would greet me as I pass by in the mornings and reception helped in every way possible to make our stay a trip to remember. The area is amazing, (except at night in certain parts of Shinjuku) and the rooftop cocktail bar is a sight to behold.

Review 127：maybe get bbc news. That's about it. But with free wifi that doesn't really matter

Review 128：Second stay in a two week period. It was everything you could want and need if you have a JR card

Review 129：The airport limousine does not stop at this hotel, but at shinjuku station, it's a bit of a walk from the station, and if we didn't use Google maps, we probably would have gotten lost. The room was also very very small. The roof top bar, why we had also booked this hotel, was closed because it was windy (not very windy that evening).. so that ruined our plans a little.

Review 130：The hotel seemed nice, we were only there for the night on a long layover in Tokyo, our friends live nearby so we chose this specific location. The toiletries provided were excellent.

Review 131：It's in the 'love' district but it's more comical than seedy.

Review 132：This is an excellent hotel. Great staff who speak very good English. Room was great - comfy bed, great style and the bathroom was really clean. Roof top bar was a bonus.

Review 133：The room was small, but that's Tokyo I guess The bathroom was also small (see above) and water from the shower sprayed everywhere The hotel is a bit hard to find and in the kind of "red light" district of Shinjuku. That didn't bother us - it felt perfectly safe and was much more lively than other areas of Shinjuku we saw - but it might bother others

Review 134：Great bath in the deluxe room! The location was good for us - 10 minutes walk to Shinjuku station, lots of places to eat nearby

Review 135：Good location, near to Shinjuku station. In the middle of nightlife area, but completely no noise or trouble. They have a nice rooftop terrace for drinks with a view. Rooms are small but functional, modern and clean.

Review 136：It was located in a business district, so there wasn't much to do activity wise during the weekend.

Review 137：Location of hotel was very close walk to the nearest metro station.
