    basic amenities
    clean and comfy
    check-in delay
    temperature control

    The stay at Light was quite pleasant. Rooms were basic but comfortable, offering everything needed for a business trip. The cleanliness stood out, which makes a big difference. Staff were friendly enough, though I encountered a less welcoming reception at check-in. Wi-Fi worked great and the location was quiet, yet conveniently close to public transport. Breakfast had a decent selection, although options were repetitive each day. The room did have some temperature control issues, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. I appreciated the free mini-fridge, but the TV could use a size upgrade. Despite minor inconveniences, I’d return here without hesitation.

    clean room
    varied breakfast
    friendly staff
    noisy air conditioning
    shower design issue
    outdated decor

    I had a pleasant stay with a clean room equipped with a mini fridge, and the breakfast offered a variety that kept me satisfied. However, the air conditioning was a bit noisy, and the shower design allowed water to flood the bathroom somewhat. It's a good choice for budget travelers looking for a comfortable base close to local attractions.

    practical suggestion

    Consider packing earplugs to mitigate noise from planes flying directly above, especially if you're a light sleeper.

    clean bathroom
    delicious breakfast

    would recommend for a weekend

    Comfortable beds, clean bathroom, and a delicious buffet breakfast with plenty of options, including sweet and savory choices, made my stay enjoyable, and it's conveniently located just a short 5-minute walk from the main train station.

    Cannot find any fault.

    convenient location
    spacious room
    hard sofa bed
    rough area

    Location was pretty convenient, just a short walk to the metro and main attractions. The room was spacious and well-cleaned daily, though the sofa bed for kids was quite hard. Breakfast was decent with a nice variety, but the nearby area felt a bit rough at night.

    spacious areas
    welcoming atmosphere
    uncomfortable seating
    limited lounge options

    The hotel had a cozy charm, making it feel welcoming and accessible for everyone. The spacious areas were easy to navigate, ensuring that even senior guests like myself felt comfortable and at home during our stay.

    More comfortable seating in common areas needed.

    would stay here again

    The one-bedroom suite was super clean, quiet, and comfy. Loved the bathroom amenities like shampoo and fluffy towels. It had a mini fridge and a nice seating area. A great view of the city lights. Breakfast offered a wide selection of fresh food, and the location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions. Relaxing sauna access was a nice bonus too.
