    It couldn’t be helped but the construction was a bit distracting. Will be wonderful when all is complete!

    The hotel is well maintained, feels quality as soon as you enter, spacious room, staff at front desk a bit naive but the concierge services were fantastic. The linens - oh the linens. The bedding was amazingly comfortable and cozy. Turn down service a bonus. The room was always well attended to. Food in the bar and breakfast was delightful.

    Rooms need an uplift like rooms on top floor that have been renovated. Occasional staff encounters with staff that don’t go out of their way to assist is amply made up by front office duty manager who is the go to person to solve issues.

    Liked the location and breakfasts that are very good. Staff are great and very helpful. Front office manager is great and a go to person for solving problems.

    MAYBE, Breakfast could be more interesting,although the continental spread was reasonable. Lighting in the room was not enough, and we're oddly placed, but there were plenty of power sockets, including USB ports for charging.

    All staff: Raquel on reception was simply adorable, Ana also..the guys at the Concierge, helping us with our restaurant bookings and the parking of the car. The cleaning staff, although we never saw them, their presence was undoubtedly there. Location, very accessible. Close to all major attractions. Great room. Even though we were facing the construction.

    The breakfast was not good enough for a 5 star hotel at 25 euros. The 24 hours a day building work at both sides of the hotel was not good.

    A super hotel with lovely rooms with great facilities. A luxury feel to the hotel.

    The staff was generally "cold" and not very welcoming - especially at the reception. The bar staff was very knowledgeable and competent. The restaurant staff was nice but service was often slow.

    The location and the restaurant was excellent

    Really lovely hotel with excellent service, but be warned there is extensive Metro construction

    Well of course, it would have been better with no construction outside. Apart from that, I can't think of anything they could do better.

    The service, room, facilities and location were so good that I have to give this hotel a very positive review despite the fact that there is extensive and noisy Metro construction going on outside. This of course is not the hotel's fault and they did everything they could to make us comfortable. Fortunately the construction was mostly not going on while we were sleeping. If you are able to get a courtyard view (instead of a street view), then you will not be very inconvenienced by the construction. After-hours and on Sunday we opened our wonderful Juliet-balcony doors wide and it was lovely. The breakfast restaurant is lovely and the service very good. The breakfast choices are also very good. Also the hotel itself is really lovely, inside and out.
