Considering the high amount I paid per night, my expectations were much higher. This hotel was extremely disappointing.

Liked:I’m trying to figure out what I like, but I’m finding it difficult.
Disliked:The rooms are extremely small and look much bigger in the photos. We were told that the minibar was complimentary, yet during our four-night stay, it was restocked only once. The breakfast was mediocre, with very few options suited to European tastes. I would rate the cleanliness 8 out of 10. The hotel is enormous and extremely crowded, with people constantly entering and leaving, which creates a rather chaotic atmosphere. There also seems to be a negative attitude towards smokers. The designated smoking area is isolated behind the hotel, in a strange and secluded location where you may feel unsafe, particularly at night. I noticed that there is a terrace near the reception area that could easily be used as a safer and more convenient smoking area, but unfortunately, smoking is not permitted there either.

Good hotel in a nice neighbourhood but maybe a bit pricy for what you get

Liked:Good location. Nice neighbourhood with plenty restaurants and shopping and short distances to even livelier areas and metro stations.
Disliked:Our room was rather small (double Hollywood) but it worked out okay. The carpets in the corridors all looked like there had been a water damage recently as all were loose and constituted trip hazards.
