The staff offered an early check-in. A cab to the airport was called for me on my departure day. This service was so helpful to me.
The breakfast variety was quite limited. More options would have been appreciated.

the staff was mostly lovely, that's something i guess.
I found that while there is a strong emphasis on style, the basic amenities left much to be desired. The room was quite small. the bathroom amenities were also lacking, only a single soap was provided for all needs, there was no toothpaste or toothbrush available. Imagine that, having to go downstairs to buy a toothbrush.

the location was good for accessing victoria park on foot.
The noise in the mornings was awful. Room doors slammed constantly from 7 a.m. onwards. this felt more like a hostel.

The breakfast was excellent. I looked forward to it each morning. the gym was clean and well-equipped too. i also appreciated the location being close to both bus and underground stops, it made getting around easy.
The air conditioning in my room seemed slightly underpowered. It struggled a bit on warmer days.
