Detailed review of my stay in November 2023

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, very much so.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked King Classic and received Prestige Suite.

How are the rooms?
Superbly renovated.
Around 105sqm
High ceilings.

Large living room with seating area and dining area.
Desk

Bedroom with very comfortable bed.

Sockets next to the bed.

Television with large number of international channels.
No Chromecast.
Free PressReader
In the living room, Samsung the Frame smart tv, with Netflix free access

Large marble bathroom with separate walk-in shower and bathtub.
Byredo Bal d’Afrique toiletries.
Separate guest toilets.

Large separate dressing.

Small terrace along living room with panoramic vegetal wall and chairs.
In the bedroom, view over the city.

Espresso coffee machine. Kettle
Very efficient air conditioning/heating system.
Very quiet.


How is the exec. lounge?
N/A.

What was good and what was bad?

-Good
Superb suite
Attentive and smiling staff
Great staff

The kind of little attention I love: my fridge was full of Coke Zero.
Excellent breakfast served by great team.
Elegant atmosphere


-Bad
Nothing.
Work on the metro line has not yet been completed (it has been delayed mainly because of archaeological discoveries).
But frankly it's not much of a problem: access to the hotel isn't very complicated if you arrive by metro (more difficult with a taxi, because of traffic congestion).
At weekends, there's no noise from the building work as it's stopped.


Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Stay was very pleasant indeed.
