Reviews
The hotel is located on a peaceful street, just a short 6-minute walk from the metro station. The surrounding area is vibrant, with plenty of great bars and restaurants to explore.
Initially, I booked a room on the first floor, which was a bit too close to the reception and had windows facing the restaurant. Fortunately, the staff kindly helped us switch to a suite on the third floor (for charge) —and it was perfect! The room was quiet, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable.
Breakfast was served directly in the room, which added a lovely touch to the experience.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended
