"This worked for the 1 night I needed. Well-appointed studio flat (with a washing machine and laundry liquid). Staff were really helpful; despite no English, they worked out a translation for me. The room was well equipped, but also showed signs of age, with some peeling floor and damaged units. The floor would have benefited from a better sweep-through, but the bed was clean and comfy! Conveniently located next to the 4th May subway stop on line 3, and a 10-minute walk to the waterfront. Would stay here again, but maybe not choose the most basic room! Note: check-in is on the 10th floor."
