Loved how central this hotel is. Front desk staff is very kind & efficient. The furniture in the room is very dated with paint missing on the chairs, folded up paper under the armoire leg, chips in the desk Otherwise, the rooftop is nice and the payment was fair.

The property was quite basic but the staff were helpful and efficient. Although everything was within easy walking distance which was great, pick pockets were rife. One of us had our bag stolen outside the hotel. As we were on our way to the airport, this was a nightmare!

Room did not have much of a view in the standard double, and couldn’t get a upgrade do to how busy it was being Easter but that would be the only downside of it all. loved the view and drinks from the bar on top of the hotel. Breakfast in the hotel was great, and hotel is located in great location close to train station and all amenities! Definitely would go back

Close to the train station and most attractions are walkable. Looks like rooms are being renovated. While our room was a good size, the bathroom was tiny and cramped - and in need of a renovation. Breakfast was good with a plenty of optons. The view from the terrace is amazing. The neighborhood is busy and noisy.

Tiniest shower I ever had! I’m a slim person and I couldn’t even turn around, every time when I move the faucet hit my back! With the money I paid this is totally not worth it! Staff were nice, location very good, easy walk to all the places but that’s it.

The staff was awesome and the area fantastic. The rooftop view amazing. I would caution though to make sure there are no stairs to your room once you get out of the elevator. We ended up with 17 stairs to get to our room. My bad as I should have asked or made it known we needed accessibility. Lesson learned. Overall we did okay.

Overall, this hotel was excellent. The room was unique and comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sun set from the rooftop, a special amenity. Unfortunately, responsiveness from the staff was not quite as strong. We called both prior and after our stay to address some questions, and were told to email to receive a very fast reply. We emailed via Expedia and directly, several times, but never received a reply in any case. Still a great hotel, but don’t count on assistance if you need help when you are not on the premises.

The only positive to say about this hitel is the proximity to the train station. They always try to give you the worst room in the hotel. When they change it us like we say in french They offer you to choose between LA PESTE and the CHOLERA
