What guests report

View

Rooftop and higher floors offer city views; street-facing rooms may see construction; courtyard-facing rooms quieter with limited views

Bed & mattress

Very comfortable, quality mattresses and pillows; bed frames are firm but supportive with premium linens

Bathroom & water

Luxurious large bathrooms with excellent water pressure, quality toiletries, soft robes and slippers; some reviews note glass-walled shower design reduces privacy

Wi-Fi

Functional with ability to cast to television; speed/reliability not specifically mentioned

Breakfast

High-quality buffet with extensive options plus à la carte menu; eggs available but not advertised; excellent pastries and fresh items; some reports of items running out during peak times

Excellent air conditioning on hot days; heating system unreliable in some rooms (cold rooms reported); temperature controls sometimes stuck at single setting

Elevator

Local knowledge

Request a room facing the inner courtyard rather than the street side to avoid tram and siren noise at night

Ask for room upgrade at check-in or mention special occasion (honeymoon, anniversary) as front desk staff regularly accommodate

Breakfast eggs are available but not advertised on menu—request omelettes directly from staff
