Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were uniquely designed and well-equipped, with comfortable beds in the Penthouse Suite, but lacking coffee or tea facilities. The toilet door design was a bit awkward, and the window that opens was a plus. Overall, the rooms were modern, stylish, and functional.
