Mei Ching, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the proper coffee machine and a complimentary beer. Nice decor, comfortable bed, large bathroom. As previous reviews commented, you can hear the noise from the bar a bit, but it never bothered me (a light sleeper may want to bring some ear buds as the building is in the city centre so shouting outside can sometime be quite loud). But the location (close to station and amenities) definitely outweigh any issues. I would definitely stay again.
Jarka, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rotten apple

No hot water, just lukewarm. No vent in the bathroom and when taking a shower, water splashed over the bathroom floor. Rotten apple in the breakfast bag which most likely wasn’t checked for a long time since even the brown paper bag was damaged and sticking to the table.
