Nice rooms, very clean. Air conditioning noisy!
Pros:

It was in a good location, close to the metro and easy to get into the city. Rooftop bar is good. Breakfast is very good, with a nice selection.

Cons:

We were on a road facing room on the 2nd floor and it was very noisy with road noise. The air conditioning was very loud and ineffective, which meant we had to have the window open. This meant we were further subjected to the noise.

Je reviendrai avec plaisir :)
Pros:

J'ai beaucoup aimé cet hôtel très bien situé et à proximité de mon lieu d'activité, dans un quartier animé. La chambre était très calme et lumineuse, confortable et spacieuse, avec de gentilles attentions sous forme de boissons et snacks. La vue sur le parc était très reposante.
J'ai adoré le petit déjeuner, l'extrême gentillesse du personnel ( en particulier Magdalena), avec une mention spéciale pour le personnel de la réception qui m'a beaucoup aidée. La cerise sur le gateau, c'était le magnifique bar avec rooftop avec une vue exclusive sur l'horizon.

Cons:

Comme souvent dans les chambres d'hôtel, j'aurais aimé plus de possibilités pour poser les affaires dans la salle de bain, qui par ailleurs était très bien.

SUPER
Pros:

Hotel ist etwas abseits von den Sehenswürdigkeiten aber durch einen längeren Spaziergang trotzdem zu erreichen. Frühstück war vielfälltig und somit konnte mann sich sehr gut für den Tag stärken. unser Zimmer war groß Sauber und die Betten gemütlich. was ich vlt anmerken kann ist das die Zimmer sehr hellhörig sind wir waren im 5. Stock und ich denke das ober uns die Bar war da wir am Abend ständig ein herumschieben gehört haben von Sesseln oder ähnlichem.

A special break in Rome
Pros:

Staff were very helpful especially as we requested a room change. Arranged this for us with no questions asked.

The breakfast room staff were great, nothing was too much trouble, pleasant and friendly.
