It’s a staff-less hotel so there is nobody to help if anything goes wrong. Their self check in machine is meant to print out a 9 digit code that gives you access the building and your room, but it didn’t have any paper. The room advertises tea and coffee, they gave me 2 coffee pods and 2 tea bags and didn’t restock when doing room service. The advertised breakfast is really just pointing you towards a local Starbucks.

The checking in process is terrible. Even the German guests couldn’t work it out. Wouldn’t stay here again

Uncomfortable bed, self-check-in with no help, especially when a problem arose, such as the system being down when we arrived for check-in, with a large crowd trying to check in and no one to help. It took us over two hours past check-in time to get in. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!
