Pros

Seven-language speaking staff provides comprehensive guest assistance

Protected location among embassies ensures enhanced security

Fresh breakfast buffet with made-to-order hot beverages

All rooms feature inner courtyard views

Cons

Street parking spaces are limited in the area

2-kilometer distance to major tourist attractions

“Here's my take: this is an especially comfortable choice if you want a quiet, secure base in the city, near embassies and transport. The personalized service stands out, and the rooms are designed with a modern romantic sensibility. I think it's a particularly good fit for couples who prefer intimacy to grandiosity.”
