The hotel is located in an iconic transformed building with easy access to various amenities, making it a unique spot. The rooms are modern and comfortable, though some may find them a bit underwhelming for the price. While the service had its highs and lows, the dining experience, especially breakfast, stood out positively despite some pricing concerns. Overall, it offers good value for a mix of leisure and social experiences, but improvements in service consistency would elevate it further.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, with a perfect location near shops and cultural sites. The rooms were spacious with modern decor, and I enjoyed a lively atmosphere in the bar. However, I did encounter an issue with the air-conditioning that affected my comfort at night. Their dining offers great value, especially the breakfast, but the dinner service could use some enhancement.
