Interiörerna, lyxig känsla.
La struttura è bellissima, curata nei minimi dettagli, con un’eleganza raffinata che si percepisce in ogni ambiente. L’atmosfera è intima e accogliente, perfetta per chi cerca comfort e tranquillità nel cuore della città.
Il vero punto di forza è l’attenzione al cliente: ci si sente davvero coccolati, grazie a un servizio impeccabile e discreto, sempre pronto a soddisfare. Grazie

location, comfort, tasteful decoration, courteous service
The AC in the room could not be regulated or switched off via the remote, so the room was v cold at first. The person who showed me how to operate remote at check in was not aware that it didn’t work. Later, on my return at night i reported it to reception, they switched it off at their end. So all was well in the end. But just something they need to fix as a tiny bit of AC rather than a lot would have been welcome.
Lovely hotel, good location, helpful staff, nice room. I spend too much time in chain hotels so I like to find smaller, boutique hotels when I'm not travelling for work and The Academy certainly fitted the bill
The room we had had some problems with the plumbing. It was a bit noisy - we did report it and the staff responded well to our concerns. I hope they fix it
Very little, poor location.
No lift. Pokey, bar the size of a small sitting room and didn’t open until 9pm.
Unfortunate smell
Beautifully appointed hotel, quality furnishings and tastefully decorated, very conveniently located. Staff were polite and helpful which all went to make a thoroughly pleasant stay.
A slight negative - no lift and our room was on the top floor - up six flights of stairs. Wasn’t a problem as we were given the option of a lower ground floor room at check-in. Also, our room was quite small and very warm, air conditioning did not seem to work. Managed to get one of the windows opened to cool it down.
The bathroom was generally a nice space with strong water and nice products. The decor looks nice in the reception and then garden room. Breakfast was presented very nicely.
My biggest issue with this hotel is that it is claiming to be a 'luxury' hotel. I believe this is incredibly false advertising and if you are thinking of booking here at this price point there is much greater experiences. a number of key issues:
- The unfriendly welcome from reception (and the security guard sleeping on the sofa after hours)
- Throughout the building marks to paintwork that make it look really shabby
- Key things like taps being broken, AC not really working, uncomfortable beds and generally just not a luxurious experience in the bedrooms
- Towels places on the floor in the breakfast room as something was dripping
No nos quedamos nos fuimos a otro Hotel .Este Hotel es mas bien un hostal
Mooi hotel en goede locatie. Vriendelijk personeel, met name bij het ontbijt.
We hadden een kamer op de bovenste verdieping. Zonder lift een aardige klim.
The location is excellent. The staff were also very good. A good continental breakfast was available but a cooked breakfast cost £15
There is no lift. Our room had no mirror near a socket so my wife could do her hair.

In room supper plates not removed, although left outside.
