I loved the elegance and diversity of the daily breakfast, the courtesy of most of the staff, the charming Italian decor, and the room upgrade. That said, the first evening I stayed there, a frightening incident occurred when a person knocked loudly on my hotel door and managed to open it. Although the door was not dead-bolted (our mistake), it was locked, which caused us great panic. I called the concierge right away, who managed the situation verbally (and sent someone up); however, there was no hotel-initiated follow-up or courtesy given from the hotel, which we found to be quite odd.

We have been vacationing for over 3 weeks and this was the last 5 days on our stop. Beautiful hotel, from the decor to the courteous staff to the central location. The room itself was very spacious for our party of 3. Fantastic bathroom that actual has amazing pressure in the shower! Bathrobes, slippers, turndown service...comlimentary water each night, what else can you want? Breakfast was included and it was like a fine dining experience, from white linen tablecloths to a delicious variety of foods. Finally had our fill of coffee! And the different fillings in the croissants...oh my! The bar/restaurant had plenty options and there is the roof top terrace. Staff gave recommendations, ordered transportation, it was truly the best hotel experience if our whole trip. Highly recommended.

駅近の清潔なホテル

この街はスーツケースを持って歩きずらいので、はやり駅近なのは便利。比較的新しいホテルなので設備も良く、全体的に清潔に保たれていました。レセプションの人も日本語でにこやかに挨拶してくれ、フレンドリーでした。いいホテルだと思います。

Although there is no parking place nearby, it won’t affect the entire staying, and the stuff will help to valet, just need to wait for 20-30 minutes. Super large room, very clean, soft towel, convenient location, very good breakfast. Highly recommended!!!

Endroit très joli. Bien placé. A deux pas de toutes les endroits à visiter. Chambres spacieuses et agréables. Lit assez confortables. Service excellent. Petit bémol-la climatisation. Trop forte et froide ce qui nous a rendu malade. Aux alentours de l’hotel, beaucoup de restaurant.

The hotel was clean, which we appreciated. However, it was quite difficult to find at first due to a very small nameplate. There were also many steps to reach our room, and the reception didn’t offer a particularly warm welcome, which made our arrival feel a bit cold. The location was good though, which was a definite plus.

Property although old well maintained. Child bed wasn’t ready and hotel failed to make it as promised and on time. I had to make several requests to have this one thing done which should have been ready before I got there. Campaign was given in lieu of a bottle of wine also. Rest was okay as the property is close by and walkable.
