Our room was in a building next door, that was super cold. We paid for a private room and we were expecting something better. From that building we didn’t have access to the amazing rooftop. The staff wasn’t super helpful either, I’m like hostels where you get more of a vibe and recommendations. We asked for a good restaurant and we were sent to the most touristy, bad and over priced one in the area, for example.
Location is amazing, and the rooftop is breathtaking.

Really, really loud. In a private room across the street from the main building on the 3rd floor, I could hear music and conversations from the rooftop bar until way past my bedtime. Luckily, I downloaded a sleep white noise app 😂. Should have just paid the extra $10 a night to sleep in a quieter place. I stayed here for the community, but being isolated across the street, I saw no one.
Wonderful location, 5 min walk to an airport metro station. Comfy bed. Lockers for luggage storage.
