The hotel is located in a quiet pedestrian street, making it a peaceful spot for a stay. The rooms have unique artwork but lack proper isolation, which can make it challenging to sleep soundly. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The location is convenient with easy access to a subway line. The dining experience offers delicious, included home-made ice cream.

The hotel is located in a quiet pedestrian street, which provides a peaceful atmosphere, but the rooms are quite disappointing due to the sink being next to the bed and the poor isolation, making it hard to sleep. The shared bathroom setup is inconvenient, and the eerie paintings in the room can be unsettling. On the positive side, the hotel is close to fast metro access and many restaurants and bars.

The hotel is located in a quiet pedestrian street, which was nice for peace and quiet, but it took a bit of a walk to reach the subway station. The rooms were comfortable, but the sink being next to the bed felt a bit odd. The own shower was a plus, but the bad isolation made it a challenge to get a good night's sleep. The dining experience with tartines was included, which was convenient, but coffee facilities were missing.

The hotel is a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. The rooms are comfortable but have walls covered with a painting of little girls with dead eyes. The service is commendable, but the shared bathrooms might not suit everyone. The location is convenient, yet lacks some charm. The dining experience with roasted meats is a hit or miss. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money but could use some improvements.

I found the hotel to be situated in a quaint location on Broadway, with easy access to a nearby subway station. While the rooms had unique decor, such as walls covered with paintings of little girls with dead eyes, the absence of coffee facilities was a downside. The sink next to the bed rather than in the bathroom was a bit unconventional, yet the private shower provided convenience during my stay.
