It was a very comfortable stay in a perfect location, so many great brunch places and restaurants nearby in the Jewish quarter. The air conditioner was a little noisy, but after a day of wandering around the city I was too exhausted to find it distracting.

We liked the hotel , second time back and would choose again for future trips. Excellent central location very close to all transport options.
We only had breakfast which was nice, plenty of choice. One morning waiting time for scrambled egg was more then 10 minutes. Bed was comfortable , pillows were not so great. Shower head in our room need attention. We can recommend this hotel , friendly staff and good location.

John Wick Continental vibe
It's our 7 times staying there, always good, and love the interior, only this time during check in, some error with system, so it took 15 minutes to check in, and one of the receptionist gave me completely different room number so I had to go back down to get a new room keys, interesting
