Good location, near metro station. Stuff are friendly. Everything was clean and nice
SerbiaOur daughter, an adult, stayed in a separate room. The desk clerk thought there was a heater in her room but there was not. Finally she gave her an extra blanket. We liked being able to relax in the breakfast/ lounge area, and the welcome drink was extra fun. The location was not too far from the museum we visited, and very quiet. We easily walked to the transportation links to airport with our rolling luggage. I would eagerly choose to stay there again. The decorative wallpaper makes the place very memorable. We met another couple enjoying a meal they picked up as "take away order" and it is nice to have that dining area on main floor available to guests wishing to do that. It is a real time and money saver after a long day of travel. We were basically just staying a night to recover from jet lag and really wished we had more time there before flying out to Rome.
