What travellers said
Rating based on guest reviews collected by our booking partner. Scores are out of 10.
8.9 / 10
Very good
5,590 reviews
Cleanliness
8.6 / 10
Rooms repeatedly described as very clean and comfortable, rooftop/pool noted as clean; however reports of house dust triggering allergies and missed amenities (no body soap) slightly lowered the score.
Service
8.5 / 10
Mixed service feedback: many reviewers praised friendly, helpful staff and quick problem-resolution (safe issue, room move), but others reported unhelpful or unfriendly staff (especially breakfast personnel) and slower responses on some requests.
Location
10.0 / 10
Consistently praised as a prime, central location with walking access to main sites and close to the metro/train — cited as a major highlight in many reviews.
Room Quality
8.2 / 10
Rooms described as beautiful, quiet (inner courtyard facing) and comfortable; however some guests experienced noise from outside (dining area, deliveries), a wardrobe door issue, and one prolonged hot-water problem, reducing the score.
Amenities
9.2 / 10
Highly regarded amenities such as a spa, rooftop pool and stylish historic interiors; minor negatives include limited room-service menu and occasional missing toiletries, but overall strong amenity offering.
Value for Money
8.6 / 10
Generally seen as a high-quality, characterful hotel worth returning to; some guests felt breakfast offerings and limited room-service portions did not fully match price, slightly tempering value perception.
Food and Beverage
8.1 / 10
Breakfast receives mixed remarks: some call it superb, others found the buffet limited (repeated items, missing brown bread) and breakfast staff unfriendly; room-service menu is limited with small portions.
Overall Experience
10.0 / 10
