Stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. The place is beautifully designed, everything was super clean and organized. Check-in and check-out were smooth, no issues at all. The location is also great—close to everything. The only thing I’d mention is the sound insulation—could hear hallway doors opening pretty clearly, so that’s something to keep in mind. But overall, a very pleasant stay, no complaints!

Awesome hotel right in the middle of everything. Service was impeccable, quiet room and safe. Rooms were a little small for a guy over 6'3" but we were not in the room very much. Many great sights to see. Our dinner was for our 40th wedding anniversary and it was amazing. Our waiter suggested the lamb and it was a great choice.

Hotel was beautiful and Cafe Riggs are delicious and convenient. The only thing I would complain about is the toilet room was very small and you could barely enter and still close to door. Other than that enjoyed my stay and highly recommend.
