Nihao Cafe Hotel

Good price, and everything was clean and close by. The room was tiny, with the shower practically over the toilet, and fitting two large suitcases in there was a bit difficult.

The metro is just around the corner, and I’d absolutely book this place again. It was quiet and cosy, with a nice atmosphere, clean modern facilities, a pleasant cafe and good coffee. The staff were friendly, and there were complimentary snacks too. I really enjoyed my stay!

The location is the main reason to stay here, and it’s a good option for backpackers. Still, to me it’s a true 3-star hotel. The staff were friendly, though the service felt like they were simply doing their jobs. There aren’t many of them, and when I ordered breakfast I waited more than 30 minutes. The facilities were clean and okay, but the bathroom, and really the whole room, felt too damp. I could see the ceiling starting to get moldy. The kitchen and open cafe area are small and cozy, so food smells build up quickly while they’re preparing meals. Check-in starts after 15:00, and there’s no staff around after 20:30, though they do provide a number to call.

There are only 12 rooms in this contemporary hotel, and the room I had was clean, if a little small. The bed was comfortable and the soundproofing worked well. Its position between the red and brown Metro lines is a big plus for getting around. Outside the room, there’s a small pantry with hot water, biscuits, tea bags, and similar things. The staff were generally friendly, and the cafe serves paid food until 2 p.m. A nice extra is the toilet’s automatic bidet seat, something I’d usually expect in a higher-tier hotel.
