Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel is a gem in the heart of the city, offering cozy rooms and exceptional service. However, the dining options could be more diverse. The location is convenient for exploring the city, but parking can be a challenge at times.
The hotel is situated in a lovely neighborhood, close to transport and with a very close proximity to that theatre. The rooms provide a great space for tea, coffee, or just chatting with other guests while enjoying a beautiful view on the upper floors with shared bathrooms. The service, although with a minor hiccup regarding the late check-out request approval, was excellent overall. The dining experience, offering Korean food included, was a delightful touch. However, the facilities could use some improvements, considering the price paid.
The hotel is nestled in a trendy neighborhood, allowing easy access to a variety of great restaurants. The rooms offer a beautiful view, perfect for tea or chatting with other guests, and the breakfast included caters to our needs. However, there was a slight issue with the late check-out approval at reception.
The hotel is located in a nice area, in the city center, making it easy to walk to lots of great restaurants. The rooms offer a beautiful view, perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea or chatting with other guests. However, the sidewalk outside could be cold and windy at times.
The hotel is in a wonderful location, right in the city center and close to many restaurants. The rooms are cozy and offer a beautiful view, but having shared bathrooms may not suit everyone. The service was exceptional, and the reception desk went above and beyond. The dining options, although limited, included tasty cured meats. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its convenient location and friendly staff. The rooms were cozy and clean, but the dining options were a bit limited. Despite that, the overall experience was enjoyable, especially with well-maintained facilities.
