I had a great stay at Hotel Cello, although the location was a bit far from the city center—getting to popular spots took over an hour by subway. On the plus side, the room was really cozy, featuring a jacuzzi and good amenities like a computer and a fridge. The staff was super friendly and the surrounding area had plenty of dining options, making it a pretty solid choice overall.

My stay at Hotel Cello was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the amenities such as the jacuzzi and large TV were quite enjoyable. However, the location was less than ideal, taking a significant amount of time to reach main attractions, and the room felt smaller than I expected.

The Standard Double Room was really tiny, which was surprising. It was lacking air conditioning and felt quite cramped. I felt a bit exposed when I opened the window, as the neighbors could easily see inside.

Service was decent enough, but I didn't have any major interactions. I mostly just used the room for sleeping.
