The hotel's location is very convienent. Facilities are efficient especially the lounge service on 3/F. Staff tried to offer best service but a few staff at the reception were inexperience and no enthusiasm to solve the guests needs. Overall it is a good hotel which I would highly recommend to friends

Really nice big room. Great bathroom. Lovely views from the floor to ceiling windows.
Only downside was no laundry machines in the hotel but I was helpfully directed by staff to a laundry 5 mins away which did the job. Would definitely stay again.
