This place is one of the coolest locations in Europe, and right next to the train station and central shopping district. It’s a true luxury hotel in the classic European style. It’s delivers exactly what you expect and more when booking a hotel of this level.

Brett, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is an excellent hotel. I don’t understand why this is a 4 star hotel. It is better than most 5star hotels I have used. The room, restaurant, bar and staff were great. It is really convenient for all the attractions (most of which I could see from our window).

Christopher, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The location of this hotel is unbeatable, especially if you're traveling in/out by train since you can readily walk to the station. The property itself is fine and has definitely been upgraded more recently but it feels like a stretch to call the experience "superb" as is flagged in Expedia ratings logic.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Giulia at the front desk was very helpful upon check-in and also the next day. She is a valued employee and you should consider giving her a raise. Your hotel is better off with her their.
