Really good Stay Experience
central location signature cocktails amazing breakfast city view
The hotel's location is very central. It provides easy access to city attractions. The cocktail bar served signature cocktails made by the bar staff. The cocktails were excellent. I found the breakfast amazing, with a nice view of the city.
My allocated room felt smaller than expected. The size did not quite meet the comfort level I anticipated for a hotel of this standard. There was not enough space available.

magnificent decor unique vibe warm staff dark walls tiny bathroom restricted pods
The room decor looked magnificent. I stayed in a duplex standard king room and found the ambiance really good. The bar and restaurant area had a unique historical vibe. The staff were polite and warm .
The room was dark. Black walls and very dim lighting were present. The bathroom and shower-room felt tiny with cupboard-style doors and little space. The hotel provided a bizarrely restricted number of Nespresso pods and tea-bags.

funny attendant thick pillow
The front desk attendant was very funny and helpful. He secured a dinner reservation at a fully booked restaurant for us. The shower had strong hot water and the bed offered two pillows with different thickness.
The hotel's parking garage was a bit far. It required walking over cobblestone with luggage.
