The location felt quite special! It was next to a famous shop and close to a main street. A park was also nearby. The staff was very helpful. They looked after my things. I appreciated that.
Breakfast felt disorganized! There was no bread for toast and the scrambled eggs ran out quickly. The teapots did not match the place. A building site nearby created a lot of noise! It was very distracting during the day.

I thought the location was great, very central. But the room I had felt a bit outdated. I noticed the lack of overhead lights made it dim. it was annoying that there weren't any outlets near the bed to charge my phone. The deposit return took forever.

Enchanting Anniversary Retreat

swan sculpturered petalsice bucketprosecco bottle
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and the hotel made it special! A swan sculpture created from towels adorned our room, and red petals were scattered romantically. We found a congratulatory note with a bottle of Prosecco chilling in an ice bucket. Such a lovely touch. The location was perfect for our planned activities.
The building site nearby created noticeable noise early in the morning.
Location

The hotel is next door to a famous shop, offering convenient access to luxury goods, it also sits less than 100 meters from a well-known public space. Great for exploring the city center. A short walk leads to a royal residence and a popular park. Transportation is accessible, with a subway station nearby. Perfect for seeing a show.
