close locationfriendly staffhelpful suggestionincorrect roomprivate spacecharging system
The hotel is close to Museum Island. An underground station is very close to the hotel (it is one block away). The staff was very friendly.
The room type was not correct. I was given a different room than I booked. I traveled with a large group, and we didn't have private space (this was a problem).
