Really good Hospitality and Design

helpful staff amazing design

The staff were helpful , assisting with directions and reservations. The hotel's design is amazing. I also appreciated the convenient location , close to many attractions and public transportation options.

I noticed some noise from the street during the night , impacting sleep quality. The soundproofing should be improved , especially for light sleepers. That way all future guests have a chance to enjoy a better rest during their trip.

quiet suite perfect location absent doorman long check-in

The suite was quiet and luxurious. The location was sneakily perfect, it was close to transportation and amenities.

the doorman wasn't there when i arrived. i wandered around searching for reception. The check-in took too long, and they didn't even explain checkout time or the key fob use in the lift, which caused issues later that evening.

A Decent Stay

welcome drinks central location service charge lacking attention

The hotel provided welcome drinks upon arrival, a nice touch. The location is central, and I appreciated the proximity to many shops and restaurants within walking distance.

I noticed a sudden 5% service charge added to the room rate on the final bill , which I found unexpected. The reception attention felt lacking , as no one assisted with luggage during check-in or check-out.
