What works, what to weigh

  • Helpful and courteous staff — Guests single out the reception team for being available and going above and beyond, from quick room changes to thoughtful service.
  • Rooftop breakfast with views — A complimentary breakfast is served on the top floor, with a wide variety of options and views over the city — a frequent highlight in reviews.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Comfort score lags behind other categories — While rooms and service rate well, the comfort category sits lower at 6.2, suggesting some guests may find beds or noise levels less than ideal.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited parking — No on-site parking is listed, which could be a challenge for those driving into the dense Old City area.
  • Economy rooms lack windows — The most budget-friendly option is an interior room without a window, which may not appeal to guests wanting natural light.
  • Check-in window ends late — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make special arrangements.
