Michael, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very speedy check-in and hassle free check-out. Extremely friendly staff in reception. Breakfast was a delight with unusually varied options and choices. The room faced inwards but that was a delight in itself having the dining area glass pyramid to regard. Shower was outstanding, both flow and heat. And the cooler in the room was very welcome

Good location and breakfast

Good location and access to transport links. Very good breakfast with lots of choice. The reception staff were not as friendly or helpful as would expect, e.g. they did not tell us the best way to our room. We had to carry two cases up stairs as a consequence.
Martin, 2-night trip

Easy walk from the metro from the airport. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. Beautiful hotel. Room very comfortable-bed and bathroom very well appointed. Breakfast buffet in the morning very good.

I liked that this property was close to the city center, safe quiet for being in a large city. The staff let us check into our room at 10 in the morning which was so nice after our long travels. The breakfast was really good.
