nice stay , but some drawbacks
super clean condition key code hot room gap problem
i found the room exactly as described , i liked the super clean condition of the room and the warm atmosphere. the bed was really comfortable , ensuring a good night's sleep. it felt different from traditional hotels because there's key code access , i reminded me of i was left alone to do whatever.
the room became really hot , even after i turned off the radiator , it was a bit uncomfortable.

Very nice stay!!!
king room spot on location digital passcode
I stayed in the Puzzle King Room and it was AMAZING!!! The location of the hotel is spot on. I found the digital passcode locks very convenient for accessing the room. The room's cleanliness and perfect layout impressed me.
I found the bed could have been comfier. The pillows felt more like bricks at times. This impacted my sleep quality somewhat . I hope they consider softer pillows in the future.
