I stayed in a deluxe double room with a private terrace on the fifth floor, and it was spectacular. The room was spacious with one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've experienced in a while. The location is perfect, central to areas we wanted to explore but quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. The dining options were outstanding, offering a wide variety to choose from. The service was friendly and helpful, making me feel like part of the family. However, the pricing for some services was a bit on the higher side. Overall, a fantastic stay with great amenities and a prime location.

The hotel offers perfect-modern, very spacious, and comfortable rooms just like the photos but had issues with room 226 which should not be rented out until resolved. The service was absolutely wonderful, from the front desk to the waiters and bartenders. The location was fantastic for tourism and dining, although some noise could be heard from the metro. The dining experience was incredible, except for the lack of English tea in the breakfast room. Overall, a great stay with minor room issues.
