Pros:

Old world style and charm with friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for us with a cable car stop right out the front. The Top Deck sky bar was a highlight!

Quick and painless.
Pros:

Check in was friendly, professional, and quick. Location was perfect and loved the view.

Cons:

Property is extremely outdated for the cost. Absolutely not a luxury or premium experience by any measure in 2026. From the facilities to the room, everything felt due for an update.

Expected more
Pros:

The hotel has some historic Charme

Cons:

Being used to the very high standards of InterContinental hotels, I was unfortunately very disappointed upon arrival. The facilities are in urgent need of renovation. Staying in the lower-level rooms is almost impossible, as the window insulation is extremely poor and does not block out the noise from the nearby street.

While the rooms themselves are acceptable, cleanliness was below expectations, with dust balls in the closet and visible dirt in the corners. After initially being assigned a room on the second floor, I requested a change due to the noise. Although the room was changed, the replacement room was significantly smaller, and the concierge did not inform me of this beforehand.

In addition, the check-in experience felt rather cold and impersonal. I was also surprised to see staff members wearing visibly dirty clothing, which further contributed to the disappointing overall impression.
