Such a lovely hotel in a great location. The room with twin beds was larger than expected. The room was clean. Staff were friendly. I will stay here again!
Our room and bathroom was quite bigger than expected. lighting was quite dim throughout the room, but somehow fits with their vibe so I didn’t mind it. Bathroom lighting was good, shower was great. Did not feel entirely clean. Lots of dust by the headboard and under the sink. One of the towels delivered had a strange mark as if it was ran over by a wheel of the cleaning cart perhaps. A spoon we used that may have not seem used if you didn’t look close enough was not replaced. Breakfast was decent and delicious for a hotel with lots of options (croissants, bread, ham, cheeses, scrambled egg, sausage, bacon, oat milk, yogurt, etc). Nice of them to offer to keep our bags while we waited for check in time and was delivered to the room. The location was a lot farther from the main tourist areas and food/shopping areas we wanted to try so if you’re expecting to walk, you’ll be getting lots
of steps in. I did enjoy that the area was quieter and felt safe because it was further away, but take that into consideration if you plan on walking. Would definitely considered this hotel more if I was doing more museum things. Lots of food options nearby but felt like they were on the higher end of things.
This was a very enjoyable stay, conveniently located, staff were very pleasant. The room was very small and minimal- more space to put things would have been better, a shelf, in tbe bathroom and sleeping area would have made it better
Very good location. Room was too dark, and below street level. We were moved to a room on ground floor, which was also dark… many of the tv channels were unavailable. Staff was moderately pleasant. I guess compared to other hotels in area, it was a good room rate for a 3 star hotel, and breakfast was quite good.
Great hotel, especially for the price. Staff is very friendly, bed is extremely comfortable for a hotel, and clean. Highly recommend the breakfast which was convenient and delicious.
Awesome hotel! Close to everything, very clean and comfortable, and staff was welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!
