My visit had a couple of downsides. The bathroom drainage was quite poor. This caused a noticeable leak. The air conditioning wasn't very effective. It didn't seem as powerful as in other rooms and lacked a constant mode, inconvenient.

The room was modern and very clean. The spacious shower was notable. I appreciated the friendly staff throughout my stay.

The interior design displayed amazing quality.. i noticed fantastic mood lighting throughout with an art deco vibe. beds were super-comfortable. It reminded me of floating on a cloud, and the room was very well appointed indeed.
I could hear noise from the outdoor street and corridors for most of the night. The rooms aren't very soundproof.

luxurious decor nice dinner complimentary coffee
I found the decor atmospheric and luxurious. Dinner in the bar was very nice. The gentleman at the bar offered us coffee at 10 pm after the coffee machine had already been switched off.
I assumed breakfast was included in our stay but it wasn't. The price seemed steep for what was offered. I'm not sure I would pay for it in the future.
