Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms may feel worn in places — Some guests note that while rooms retain their charm, they can appear a little dated in spots.
  • Value for money questioned by some — One guest felt it wasn't worth the price beyond the design and sauna, so manage expectations on extras.
  • Coffee could be hotter at breakfast — A minor but recurring note — breakfast is adequate, but the coffee temperature could be improved.

“Very good experience — clean hotel, particularly good and perfect location in a quiet area. Rooms nicely furnished, comfortable, and full of character. Breakfast was tasty with many options and hot meals, served by knowledgeable staff.”

9Verified guest

“Reception staff were friendly and helpful, suggesting places to visit and eat without being pretentious like some 5-star hotels. Room comfortable, though a bit worn, in keeping with the hotel's style. L'Occitane toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers were nice, and overnight shoe polish was a thoughtful touch. Breakfast adequate, but coffee could have been hotter. Easy to reach with airport express bus stopping nearby.”

9Verified guest

“Centrally located with very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were spacious and well-equipped. Our room faced the courtyard and was particularly quiet. I'd definitely return.”
