Dariush, Nov 2025
Pros (+) It had a nice rooftop area
Cons (-) The staff at the hotel got a taxi for us to the airport and they told us it would be around €30-40 which is a pretty normal amount. Instead they got us a very expensive taxi that had nothing extra, but charged us €60. Overall it seemed like their customers were not their first priority.

Superior room seems to be smaller than expected. Just one chair and not as pictured with two chairs on their website. A lot of dust. Otherwise room is quite stylish. One person on front desk was not particularly friendly.

Jelena, Oct 2025
Pros (+) Nothing
Cons (-) Terrible experience – definitely not a 5-star hotel! When we arrived, the hotel tried to charge us more than the price shown on Booking. While we were standing there, they even changed the price online to make it look higher! Luckily, we took a screenshot. We were too tired to change hotels, so we stayed — big mistake. The room smelled awful, the window couldn’t be opened, and there was no ventila...
