The stay was amazing! I really loved every detail of it. The staff was helpful and reacted immediately for every request. The apartment itself had everything you needed. The moody lights plus the fireplace gave it additional charm. The location could not be better. I would love to come back here one time.

    The room is super well designed. Clearly the interior designer knows what it takes to be a good design hotel and a good hotel all together. I enjoyed their little details and the room amenities plus what they provide for no any extra charge. The staff was super helpful and kind. The location is great. Quite a bit of a walk from the train station but there are shops along the route so you won't get bored.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel. The first room given was by the lift and I had requested a quiet option. I was given a different room which I think was in a higher rate category. The robes are lovely and the beds heavenly.
