Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally reported as clean and well maintained (rooms described as clean, daily housekeeping), but occasional issues noted: missed a day of room cleaning and one report of hairs in the shower/bathroom.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly praised as professional, friendly and helpful (reception, check-in assistance, concierge-type help). However there are notable service failures: long check-in process in some cases and a problematic check-in incident where a partner was not allowed to check in despite prior notice.
Location
9.3
Consistently highlighted as an excellent, central location — well connected by metro/bus and close to attractions. Drawback: lively street and late-night tourist/club noise reported by several guests.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms described as spacious, comfortable with good showers and balconies. Some negatives: mattress sometimes too soft for some guests and internal doors are not very soundproof leading to hallway noise.
Amenities
9
Strong amenities noted: complimentary mini-bar, work cabins, comfortable common areas. Minor complaints: in-room coffee machine awkward to use, and some expected 4-star items (slippers) not provided by default; toiletries sometimes had to be requested.
Value for Money
8.2
Mixed: several guests felt the experience justified the price (upgrades, early check-in options), while others felt the high price did not match problems like late/chaotic check-in or missing expected toiletries.
Food and Beverage
9.6
Very strong positive sentiment for breakfast and dining: multiple guests called the breakfast excellent/very rich and praised available meals; generally high satisfaction with food offerings.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall positive experience for most guests (many would return, several 'everything was great' reports), tempered by recurring issues around check-in logistics and street/night noise.

Bad experience
Pros:

Stylish and design

Cons:

They didn’t let my husband checked in before me despite sending many messages with his name and details prior to arrival. It was a total mess between the hotel and booking.com one blaming the other one. We were allowed to check in a 1 am at night!! Unbelievable for such an amount of money for a room

Pros:

Great location on a lively street, a short walk to the Gothic Quarter. Staff were professional and really helpful. The balcony was really nice.

Cons:

Although the walls are soundproof, the room's doors aren’t which completely defeats the purpose and you can hear everything in the hallway.

Lovely staff at relaxing hotel
Pros:

Check-in staff very good, explaining hotel details, local attractions etc and helping with any queries/ problems. Room excellent, clean and comfortable, powerful shower. rooms made up daily. Complimentary mini-bar appreciated. Breakfast excellent choice. Meals also available.

Cons:

Coffee machine in room difficult to use- would have preferred instant coffee sachets- sure reception would have provided if asked. Temperature range on shower could be cooler. Not obvious where restaurant meals were available- found menu 'hiding' behind bar- had excellent meal and wine.

Bien situado para el teatro.
Pros:

La ubicación era perfecta para nuestro propósito en este viaje. La habitación amplia y muy limpia.

Cons:

El colchón era algo blando y no muy cómodo.
No había útiles de aseo en el cuarto de baño, había que pedirlos (y pagar por ellos). Considero que un 4 estrellas no debería escatimar en estos detalles.
Se oía algo de ruido del pasillo y de la calle (estábamos en la segunda planta y era una noche de sábado).
