Were you happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked cheapest room and received a Premium room with club access

Pretty large (41 sqm)
Junior suite setting: large seating area, comfortable bed, large dressing, marble bathroom with separate stalls for the shower, large bathtub. Elemis products
Very elegant neo 1930-1950s decor
Impressive Philips HD flat screen television with Bose system (with good selection of national cable television channels)

Healthy breakfast and evening meals (vegetarian tapas and cheese, plus some appetizers du jour). Afternoon tea
Very friendly staff

What was good and what was bad?
Good:
  • Very central location, in one of the most exclusive parts of the city
  • Rent a bike station next to the hotel (you can get a compulsory bike helmet at the concierge)
  • Small but pleasant indoor pool (with view!!)
  • Elegant hotel

Bad:
  • The room is facing the outside atrium next to the building, which make the room very dark, with no view and no privacy.
  • As there is no corridor between the door and the room, you may hear doors from other rooms slamming
  • Internet in the rooms at extortionate price
  • Not a single foreign television channel (except for BBC Worldwide and CNN International).

Value for $ or Priority Club Points?
Yes.

Would you return?
Great hotel in great city
