The facility was excellent, that roof top view and pool was incredible. The room was great, A/C worked more than fine and we had to turn it down. The proximity to the public transport was great, and there are a lot of places to eat, and convenience stores to replenish supplies.

The rooms were clean, and the bathroom includes the typical bidet and towel warmer. The toilet paper roll holder is in an odd place, basically inside of the shower/bathtub area and kept falling apart when I tried to use. The rooftop pool, gym, and deck area is very nice! The staff was great and super helpful. Location is awesome, with a metro right outside the hotel.
