Excellent hotel, booked after trawling through hundreds of hotel reviews & was not disappointed. Great location, very clean, stayed in room 501, didn't hear the metro, room spacious, towels cleaned daily. Huge bed, plenty storage & safe for valuables. Only downside was hubby found shower over bath quite tight (could be due to him being over sized). Don't know if they have rooms with seperate showers. If you need large fluffy towels take your own though. I found the staff very helpful, english speaking, great with advice on services etc.

My fiancee and I stayed here for three days after staying at the much ritzier Hotel 1898 for four days. The hotel was clean, mostly quiet and centrally located.

We were there in February so there were no families with kids, although the signs in the elevator seemed to indicate that there are kids around at other times of the year.

If we hadn't stayed at 1898 first we probably would have rated this one excellent. The underground pool and spa at 1898 really spoiled us.

For one hundred dollars less per night it was a steal. Try booking through the venere.com or with the hotel directly. We got a lower rate than we booked on check out at the 1898. Both properties are from the same hotel group.

We stayed here for 6 nights - the location is great and the rooms are spacious. however, the rooms did not have robes and room slippers or even an alarm or clock. Further, the housekeeping people kept on forgetting to leave towels in the bathroom, so everyday, we had to call down to get new ones! the service was okay - however, and a big however, one person was especially helpful and very nice - Anais! we had accidently reserved for one night less than our stay and Anais said the rooms were sold out. instead of just throwing us on the street, she was quite helpful and called around numerous hotels to find us a room... it was this added touch, that made me smile. The desk was quite busy, but she was nice to everyone and patiently called over 10 hotels on our behalf!

I would go back only because of that!

What a great hotel! Easy to find, quiet, designed to within an inch of it's life but without the attitude that can come with a high-style destination. Asked for and received a quieter room on an upper floor. Saw a hen party in the lobby but never heard them when we were ready to sleep. Staff were great, very attentive and helpful when it came to questions about the area and requests for help with our lost luggage etc.

We'd stay here again without a second thought.
