The room was compact but very clean and comfortable. I really liked that it is across the street from a metro station. Lack of a complimentary breakfast in the morning was a downer.

This hotel is super cute. Has a rooftop, gym restaurant and bar in the middle of Chinatown. Train station is across the street along with buses. 20min walk to memorials and downtown. It is tidy and minimalistic but was cute for our two day stay. Wish the shower head was bigger but that is about it. I’d recommend!

Disliked: Room comfort
It was so noisy at night that I could hardly sleep. People were screaming and talking loudly outside, which made it difficult to rest. The hotel itself was good overall, although the rooms were very small and a bit cramped. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place was kept very clean. The location was convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby, but the noise from the street was definitely a downside.
