8.2/10 Very Good! (1,008 reviews)
Very nice stuff working at the hotel. However it’s quite overpriced for 1 night, but on the plus side you can leave your luggage for free for all day and you have a discount if you eat or drink at the hotel bar, so overall if you count all of this, you would safe the money.
