8.8/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)
This was my second stay at Hotel 115 - I came back because I loved it last time. Although everything I loved was still in place, my room this time was very small. This time I was travelling for business, and really could have done with a desk. My bad for not checking. My other issue was I arrived quite late (8pm - which they knew), on a very cold night. There was no heating on in the room - it would have been a nice touch to have turned that on, even on low.
