Stayed for 5 nights with my husband, parents and sister over the Christmas holiday.
Pros:
-Top location for ease of seeing sights and accessing the metro
-Tastefully decorated rooms
-Stellar service, warm and friendly with making reservations and arranging logistics for seeing the sights. Even before arrival, very prompt and friendly responding to emailed questions
Cons:
-Biggest complaint was the inability to run A/C in our room. It was so warm at night and especially getting ready in the morning. We all left our rooms as soon as possible in the AM! The staff instructed us to just leave the heat off, but the residual heat from the hotel lobby etc still baked us in our room.
-Shower would leak into the toilet room, causing a slight mildew smell
Overall, you can't beat the location and friendly service! No issues with noise or safety. We did have drinks one night at the bar which was expensive (as most hotels are). Also had brunch one morning (decent but not excellent) which again we did with full understanding of premium price.
One final tip, don't take a cab anywhere on 12/26! We had to leave early to catch a flight and the hotel told us about $25 for cab ride (bus wasn't running that early) - it ended up being $50 due to boxing day and we almost ran out of euro paying the driver!
