Really comfortable and best thing about this hotel is the location! There’s a subway entrance/exit literally 15 steps away from the lobby which is such a relief after a long day of walking.

Was on the top floor in a deluxe twin which was very spacious and well appointed. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel is next door to the Imperial Palace and a tube station so it is well located to explore the city. There are numerous places to eat nearby from very affordable to eye-wateringly expensive.
