Very good

Liked: Wonderful hotel close to everything. Bring ear plugs because centrality comes with a few trade offs (traffic, pedestrians).There are so many positives about this hotel, here's my favs:• shower is utterly 9/10. Maybe even a 10. Water? Hot. Pressure? Heavy. Never ends! I had 2 showers in 16 hours. Why not!• towels. Thick. Heavy. Dries you quickly. Ample amount. No face washers, not an issue.• price, location, access. Tick, tick, tick.• bed and bedding, including pillows. Fresh and clean, smooth and soft. I had an extra large double and hoboy, it was wide.• in-room amenities and facilities: tea and fancy coffee bags with a plunger, soaps / shampoos smell lovely, tissues, toit tickets.I booked via booking dot com. There was still a holding fee.Reception is right close to the street however you need your room keypass to get to the foyer where the elevator lives. Staff were efficient.Hotel is clean and orderly overall.Due to my own idiocy, I did not get to have the breakfast. Note to self: If someone asks you to prove you are a guest of the hotel -inside the hotel- just prove it and move on, no need to go off like a pork chop. These two things, sadly, are related, to my embarrassment. Awkwardness remains even after the apologies are said and the hands are shaken.
Disliked: I only have a couple of "if-onlys" - there is a desk in R209 however there is no light nor power point near it (I write when I travel), and the external noise does warrant earplugs (which I left at home). Oh, and no face washers: love a shower with a face washer. That said, there's no demerits here only what-ifs.
