I really liked the place, its idea is very innovative.
My flight was delayed and they helped me with late check-in, which I really appreciated.
The only problem I had was with the card/key. It only worked one day, I had to arrive very late and leave very early and there was no one in reception to help me. I had to ask the kind cleaning ladies to help me open the bathroom and bedroom doors.
