F1 weekend

We liked the hotel , second time back and would choose again for future trips. Excellent central location very close to all transport options. We only had breakfast which was nice, plenty of choice. One morning waiting time for scrambled egg was more then 10 minutes. Bed was comfortable , pillows were not so great. Shower head in our room need attention. We can recommend this hotel , friendly staff and good location.

Disappointing stay

The photos glorify the hotel. It is far less impressive than pictured. The desk staff was not especially friendly and the room was small and minimalist with a rather depressing, cold palette of black and grey. Breakfast consisted of an array of food options, the majority being unappetizing (cauliflower Polonaise, really!). I did appreciate spending time at the rooftop pool area.

It was a very comfortable stay in a perfect location, so many great brunch places and restaurants nearby in the Jewish quarter. The air conditioner was a little noisy, but after a day of wandering around the city I was too exhausted to find it distracting.

Funtional and decenty hotel lacking in charm.

The room was very small but quiet as it faced an internal courtyard. Pretty convenient location BUT the streets nearby are a bit depressing. No late checkout. I asked for an hour extension but dismissed even though there was no sign of cleaning on my floor when I left. Decent location, recently decorated but functional rather than charming.
