The hotel is very close to the metro. i found it amazingly easy to get around the city using it. breakfast was included. I found it excellent. our room was super clean (the cleanliness was excellent). the staff were helpful, despite one brusque member at check-in.

the soundproofing wasn't great. i could hear water running when neighbors used the shower, a bit disruptive.
