Above and beyond! The hotel is undergoing renovations but you’d never know. The service is immaculate, there’s no obvious thing missing, everything we could have wanted was there and more. The bartenders were creative, the front desk always helpful and the doorman was there around the clock. We felt so spoiled! The little touches like beautiful wallpaper and fringe lampshades added to the original charm of the buildings ceilings, railing and protected mosaic floors around the stairwell. Would gladly recommend to anyone - and we can’t wait to come back ourselves! One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at recently

Very lovely and friendly front desk staff! The hotel is right next to the Gran theatre, which was the reason I booked a room there. The room was not in a perfect 4-star hotel condition from my understanding ( I manage a 4-star hotel in Canada); however, the staff there just made my stay so relaxing and enjoyable! Highly recommended and I’ll definitely come back!

Unacceptable and unsettling for a four star hotel: We requested accommodations in advance, but none were available. The AC wasn’t working, and the only room offered wouldn’t be ready until the next day around 1 p.m. On our final day, we also found a cockroach in the room, which was unacceptable. Overall, the cleanliness and maintenance did not reflect a four-star standard - and no compensation was granted either.
