Good location, nice spa and pool deck

The spa area was nice, two pools and plenty of loungers and chairs spread across the decks. We wanted a massage on Sunday but we left it too late to book on Sunday morning as they were already full The room was clean but very small, not a lot of space for two people to manoeuvre around. These days I think a firm mattress is more common than soft - this bed was super soft, you sank into it - suits some but wasn’t for us. The bathroom was a good size but not optimal. The shower was tiny and the tray a simple plastic square which didn’t feel safe. There is plenty of space to create shower of a walk in style but double in nature The bar was well staffed and attentive however the ambiance was more like of a coffee shop and not a bar. The location is good, quite central and next to a food hub (street food) so lots of choice on the door step The hop on hop off bus is at the end of the street so quite handy.

Okay but would not use again.

Room 347. The Good. 1) hotel positioning 2 )The staff 3) powerful shower 4) The bed was okay 5) The rooftop pool area is superb 6)For a hotel the gym is very very good with Good quality equipment The Bad. Breakfast 1) The potato tots were always cold or luke warm, I did complain, the following day they were still cold. 2)The baked beans were always cold 3)They forgot on more than one occasion to put the butter out Room. 1) The room air conditioning was adequate at best. 2) The magnetic door closing strip was useless on the shower and there was a gap at the bottom of the shower door where the water spewed out. 3) One morning there was no hot water 4)The TV Youtube app would not play above 720HD 8) This room is right by the staff rest/maintenance room where you constantly get the door slamming sending a bang through the room.

Hotel is nice and clean inside, there are 2 pools. Lots of food options around the area. Hotel is located in the back street, however, we do feel safe walking in late at night as there were always people walking. Breakfast needs to be improve, we were there for 4 days, no change to breakfast, staled bread, diluted juices.

The property was in good conditions, they have a nice and gentle piano bar player every evening that adds charm to the place. The facilities were ok, would deserve some light maintenance or redesign, but overall they are usable and enjoyable and that's all that matters. The location is ok, right on the lively Jewish quarter, and walking distance to many "ruin bars" and restaurants, 20-30 minutes walking distance to parliament, museums, opera, libraries and around the corner from the famous New York café.
