Location! And luggage storage!
Was a good place to stay for our first night as we landed at midnight! So it was alright!
Too compact! No elevator! Beds were not comfy!

Location is excellent, was able to store my luggage prior to check in, room was very clean
Had to queue for 40 minutes to check in despite having filled in all the information online prior to arrival. Lifts were out of order

Check in was good. Facilities were good. One of the people in my room took a phone call at 3am and was chatting and laughing for 10 minutes but that is not the fault of the accommodation.
