Dining

The hotel's restaurant serves Spanish and international dishes created by two Michelin-star chef Dani García. A daily breakfast buffet includes healthy gourmet options, such as eggs Benedict and fresh fruits. The bar offers a selection of wines and cocktails, plus complimentary welcome beverages for guests.

Rooms & Comfort

Each room has a king-size bed with a pillow menu allowing guests to select their preferred comfort. Private bathrooms come with a professional hairdryer and GHD straighteners upon request. iPads are available for use in the hotel, and a complimentary mobile WiFi device provides city connectivity during the stay.

the staff was friendly , i guess , even if they couldn't fix all the issues.
The 'beautiful double or twin room' was hardly beautiful , it felt more like a standard single , honestly. the wardrobe was tiny . I could barely fit my socks in there , let alone my clothes. also , the lighting was so dim , it was like living in a perpetual twilight.

Acceptable Stay. Needs Room Improvement

small room bathroom counter
The room size was quite small. It felt cramped with limited space to move around freely. The bathroom also lacked sufficient counter space. I found it hard to organize toiletries. Housekeeping sometimes forgot to replenish the tea and coffee supplies. I had to call down to request more, but this became inconvenient after a while.
