The hotel's bar and dining areas are a highpoint. They are stylish and cosy with lots of light and greenery. Good for both business and leisure travellers I'd say. Also a lovely location, a short walk from the hustle and bustle with a lovely "rus in urbe" vibes. The one snag was the breakfast which felt a little underwhelming. ##### Toby Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Sep 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Food was good.
