Excellent Aparthotel

Exceptional Aparthotel. Very well equipped, with luxury toiletries (The White Company) hairdryer, fabulous multi function shower. Fridge (minibar) stocked. Complimentary Nespresso coffee and creamer. Breakfast is boxed to order as an extra cost, so no dining facility, but you are surrounded by many bars and restaurants. Arai felt safe, room card entry to reception. Staff super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely hotel in a great location

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel in almost every respect. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and light-filled. Everything was immaculate. The staff was helpful and friendly. The kitchen was well-stocked and highly functional. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had great hot water and pressure. Our window opened onto a small, charming square, which was a little noisy at night. Be sure to bring earplugs if you like to go to bed early :-)
