Fantastic Stay!!!

central locationcoin laundryfamily roomdark membrane

I found this place perfectly central to various stations. Many restaurants and attractions such as the markets are close by. The room was the right size for my family. Facilities such as the coin laundry were very handy. I greatly enjoyed this stay!

The window was covered with a dark membrane from the outside. It made the room completely dark. This lack of daylight during the day was a huge drawback for me.

The room featured comfortable beds and blackout curtains. There was a modern bathroom with a high-pressure shower. complimentary toiletries were available. The room also had a mini-fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee supplies.

WOW, what a FANTASTIC stay!

self-service cartspacious roomcoin laundryluggage storage

I appreciated the self-service cart on each floor stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The room felt spacious for two people. I loved the layout. The coin laundry was EXTREMELY useful, especially after long days. Luggage storage was available, the cafe had great coffee, and the gym offered a solid workout.

The in-room safe was a little small. I struggled to fit my larger electronics inside.

helpful appeasy check-inexcellent location

The Kabin Taka app was helpful. It provided the room number and passcode for easy check-in. I could message through the app and get a quick response if i had questions. The hotel location is excellent (close to many attractions).

i found the window was covered with a dark membrane from the outside. This made the room completely dark, so there was a lack of daylight during the day. It created a very depressing vibe when i woke up in the morning, since it was as dark as night.
