Irina at the front desk was the perfect hostess. Took care of all our requests. Francesca and Dario were outstanding in the restaurant. Such attention to detail.

The room we got initially had a messy view, of construction across the street. We paid 50 Euros to upgrade and got a really nice room.

Modern chic very clean room with large comfortable bed. The high painted ceiling was really beautiful.

We booked a junior suite but it was really just a large room. There was no complimentary mineral water or tea or coffee making facilities which one expects in a junior suite of 4* hotel. No fruit or juice offered at breakfast

This small boutique hotel has a Michelin-starred restaurant - food, including breakfast, is of high order. We had the small upper floor rooms which were good value but nothing special. The more expensive rooms are obviously well-appointed.

Nothing in particular.

Michelin restaurant was very expensive; it would have been nice if there had been an additional less expensive dining option.

Cleanliness of the rooms was excellent, the staff were super friendly and really helpful. General quality of the whole building was very good. Restaurant and service was excellent. I would stay here again.

Felt like the hotel was sometimes more style over substance. The cosy room was very impractical for a couple and is perhaps better suited for a single person only. The bathroom also flooded slightly and didn’t drain well. Needs to be fixed to avoid further damage and worsen condition of the bathroom, which hasn’t aged well. But otherwise was a very pleasant stay and will know to just pay more for a bigger room next time.
