Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the hotel's beautiful rooms, with some being almost 30 m2 and featuring large windows and modern furniture. Complimentary drinks and snacks are a frequently mentioned perk, along with the in-room coffee machine. While many find the rooms spacious, offering a generous layout, a few guests have noted that ordering room service can sometimes test one's patience. The location close to Green Park and other attractions is another highlight, and some rooms even offer lovely views overlooking it.
