Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had its ups and downs. It was conveniently located with plenty of nearby bars and cafes to explore, although the view was lacking due to construction. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, but the room condition was subpar.
The king room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It had some remaining items from the previous guest which was a small inconvenience. The service at the hotel was uniformly excellent, very friendly, and helpful. The location, perfect for getting around, allowed me to explore the historic sites easily. The dining experience was great with a variety of options. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms, slightly disturbed by ongoing construction outside, at a fair price per night. The service is fantastic and very helpful, ensuring a top-notch experience. The location is excellent for exploring key parts of the city, with some construction noise disturbance. The dining experience is enjoyable, though with room for improvements in line with local culinary expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and had a nice indoor view, but there was constant disturbance from massive construction works outside. The service was exceptional, very polite and friendly, although there were few lapses in following hygiene standards. The location was convenient for sightseeing and shopping, but the busy and narrow street made it feel crowded. The dining options were varied and delicious. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
