"Super convenient location just across the Chapel bridge, and one block from the train and ferry station. Excellent breakfast and trendy design. Room was a little small, but we chose the smallest option, so we know about that. Loved the bird chirp ambient sound in the elevator, super nice touch."

The Lubo - self check-in

8/10 Good
"The Lubo is a quick bus ride or walk from the train station. It's not hard to find and the staff at the bar/Cafe downstairs are very helpful. Check in is easy on the phone or the kiosk. The most difficult part is the stairs in the hotel and finding the room. There are a few stairs to get into the hotel and on every floor. Make sure you are not travelling with a million suitcases. I would go scout out your room first. Otherwise, for the price and location, the hotel is great. There's a mini kitchenette that we didn't use and close to everything."
