My husband and I stayed here in May 2011. The location was really ideal, a less than 5 minute walk to the trolley, and lots of cute shops and restaurants close by. Cafe Pertu across the street has really tasty coffee and espresso. The room was absolutely beautiful, as was the courtyard. Really lovely place! I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Our room was spacious; a living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. We even had a washing machine! The location was good, only 2 minutes walk away from a busy thoroughfare with plenty of bars and restaurants. The walk to the river took longer, about 15 minutes, but the area through which you have to walk is fine. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the Hotel restaurant served excellent food. Whilst the swimming pool area was not very big, it was beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great hotel, almost in the center, big appartment, great spa. Clean, well furnished, good service. Great value!

It is a perfect accommodation but it is not a hotel as we know it, and especially a 5 star hotel.
It is a residency, with security, cameras, cleaning services, swimming pool but not a hotel. Has no lobby, bar, seating area, restaurants, wide elevators and corridors, etc.
This is the reason why the breakfast is so expensive. There is no area to accommodate all residents during breakfast. This is also the reason why the hotel provides rates w/o breakfast but provides facilities in the rooms for food preparation.
The rooms are quite big but the bedroom not so much. You have to put your clothes in the wardrobe, because your luggage can not be stored in your room.
For us having a 2y/o son the room was great. He had space to play and the equipment (i.e. refrigerator, microwave and heater) were very helpful.
The stuff was also very helpful and kind, ready to assist on any of our request.
The swimming pool is not for 5star hotel but is much better than other more expensive hotels in the area.
The water in pool is not so warm ( /- 20 C) but in jacuzzi is warm enough.
Also note that it is very quiet. The outside road is quite far from the rooms and it is no crowdie at all. Ofcourse there is no view from the room but within the city nowhere you will find a wide view.
The area is not very popular but the tram is abt 100 mtr far, very very frequent (abt every 2 min) and takes you everywhere. For families with strollers the new lines of tram (like this one close to the hotel) access is very easy. Access to Metro and old tram is not so easy. Necessary to have the stroller on hands at the stairs.
Generally about the hotel, our impression is very positive and we would suggest to everybody but at a price of a 4 star hotel maximum.
