Pros:

Le design au top, probablement l'un des meilleurs hôtels de la ville hors les HLM internationaux sans âme.
Le restau rooftop est super. Les petits déjeuners excellents.
La chambre vue cathédrale est grande, les matériaux et la technologie au top.
Un hôtel très flatteur.

Cons:

La rue un peu bruyante, mais ça passe.

Pros:

Location is fantastic, hotel is beautifully designed. Well organized. Sense wellness is nice. We enjoyed our view very much. Breakfast was great, people working there are lovely. Besides the workers in Rooftop Bar all the employees were wonderful.

Cons:

The hotel smells amazing, except the entrance of our room 504. We had to open the door and take a sniff of that beautiful corridor smell and get back to our room which smells dead rat.

We had a reservation for Rooftop Bar at 10pm. I made the reservation days ago. Ladies working there gave us the worst seat in the farest table. I dont like the service and I hated the way they acted.
