The hotel itself is good, very stylish from the époque, the room is spacious and well equipped

The hotel itself doesn’t have any serious drawback but the surrounding is very unpleasant. Also, there is big noice from the street.

Breakfast was good and the overall staff was supportive.

The check-in timing is odd, need to drag 2 hrs. before. The room is just ok compare to cost we paid. English communication is required which was missing
