The hotel team was helpful and friendly. The location was perfect- right in the middle of everything. The decor was modern but comfortable and still maintained much of the original building’s old world charm. The food at Eve was delicious! Treat yourself to pots of hot tea and dessert in your room- just lovely!

This was a great stay! The labyrinth to get to the room was a bit hard at first. Traversing the multiple floors, some without lifts may be hard for some.

This place is a gem. We didn’t like our initial room and for a modest fee we got an upgrade to a very nice room. All the staff was friendly and the location can’t be beat. The only negative is the light in the toilet part of the bathroom is on a motion sensor and comes on and off whether you want it to or not.
