I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a great night's sleep. The location is fantastic with other luxury hotels and embassies nearby. The service was exceptional, making our stay truly special. However, the dining experience at the breakfast buffet didn't exceed my expectations.

Dining at the restaurant by Stefano was a beautiful culinary experience with a great selection available. However, the 30 euro cost for a basic breakfast of yogurt, cham, flakes, and coffee felt a bit overpriced.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. It's a wonderful place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The rooms are not only pleasantly quiet but also very spacious and beautifully decorated in a classic style. The bathroom was wonderful, and I must say, the mattresses provided me with the best sleep ever!

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms felt elegant at first but started to show signs of wear with a disappointing smell. However, the room size and balcony were impressive. The service was impeccable, with a luxurious touch provided by Ekaterina. The location, near the embassy complex, was convenient but lacked a vibrant atmosphere. The dining experience was delightful with a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
