The bathroom needs to be fixed. The toilette seat wasn't fit correctly and the shower leaked water. If you drink coffee and/or tea, you have (must) go to the 8th floor to pick them up, very inconvenient.

Good location but room was extremely small. We did expect it to be small but not that small. Not enough space for 2 luggages even it was a double room. There was no vanity mirror in room itself so everything had to be done in the bathroom room while the other occupant wait.
