Felicitas from Germany (10/10)
We loved the friendly and happy design of the hotel and rooms; it was extravagant and gave a good feeling. Employees especially concierge have been very helpful and friendly. we loved the walking distance to central park in the morning and the live jazz evening in the hotel bar for evening. i was surprised about the silence in the rooms, especially since we have been so centrally located. We loved our terrace to sit in the mornings or evenings. we will be back again!
Hiroshi from Japan (9/10)
It is a member of the Firmdale Hotels group, and its atmosphere, facilities, and services are almost the same as those of the Haymarket Hotel, which is also a member of the Firmdale Hotels group. The staff is friendly and helpful, and when I asked for something, they were quick to respond. I had to leave my key with them every time I went out, but I guess many people remember the room numbers of guests and their room numbers, so when I came back from outing and went to the reception, I found my key right away.
