Lovely central hotel with huge rooms and friendly staff
United KingdomFantastic Location, modern stylish decor (probably more suited for younger people), excellent breakfast, friendly and efficient staff, nice rooftop bar with view on the mai market square
GermanyLoved the beautiful renovated structure and gorgeous wood for doors and trim! Anna was so pleasant in checking us in and helped us book a dinner reservation. Our favorite thing was how close it was to Old Town Market Square ! Would go back in a heartbeat!
United States of AmericaBreakfast was really good, good variety. Location could not be better! Staff very friendly. The hotel itself is beautiful. The only thing was that they only gave us two pillows and the shower was broken but they fixed it quickly.
United States of AmericaI just loved my experience ate this hotel ! The room was amazing , the refurbish that was made in this old hotel was so good ! The hotel is a must go !!!
BrazilHotel is well located for access to the square. Some of the surrounding streets are shady and I felt unsafe at night one block next to the location but the exact location of thehotel itself was fine. Be cautious when going out. Outstanding housekeeping and turndown service. I appreciated that the toiletries were replenished daily, turn down service and thorough cleaning. The gym is small but usable. The pool is amazing and the spas is wonderful. The staff was kind and provided dining recommendations. I would stay here again, but as previously mentioned beware walking at night.
United States of AmericaThe hotel was in a great location with lots of architectural character. The staff was gracious pleasant, and accommodating. The breakfast had a great selection of pastries, breads, fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, mixed salads, fresh juices, coffee, and egg/omelet station. The pool area was unique and very relaxing. My kids had a great time in it. we had a junior suite and the room was very quiet. The rooftop bar had great views as advertised. We will definitely come back because of the location and overall character of the hotel.
United States of AmericaLocation was perfect and the staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and was well fitted out with the basics. Bed was good and the cleaning staff super attentive - i think they must clean your room twice a day!! The pool and gym was small and quiet, which was nice for a relaxed use of the gym and a quick swim to help.
United KingdomAmazing building, lovely spacious rooms, great service. A very positive experience.
IsraelThe location was amazing. The hotel spotless and very architecturally interesting. The staff was very accommodating.
