5/5 Excellent

"Very fabulous hotel, combination of Scandinavian functionality and aesthetics. Everything in the room (tiny, but not as tiny as a Japanese hotel room) is so well-thought out. The iPad controls everything in the room: lights, curtains, TV, temperature etc. The night curtain truly blacks out the room. The mattress is not saggy - super comfortable. The light in the bathroom changes colour on command; there’s also a memory game to play (“Marvin” changes the colour of the light and you have to repeat). Breakfast alternates between two options. Free flat, sparkling and hot water at the bar 24/7. My only issue is the smell of sewage from bathroom. Not overpowering but noticeable. Overall, a delightful stay! Thanks citizenM!"
