10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely a dropdead gorgeous hotel. From the lobby to the Oyster Bar and restaurant to the downstairs pub everything is absolutely perfect. Our room was amazing and looked out onto Eyre Square, which is where you want to be. A ten minute walk to the Latin Quarter, which is where we spent most our time souvenir shopping and going to all the various restaurants and pubs. Super fun. Great location for the hotel.

Loved the hotel. The hotel is beautiful and has great sitting spaces. The staff was very kind & helpful. It was a bit weird that no one answers the main phone number. Was a little disappointed that the room was so warm and we were not told it did not have ac. But everything else law was great.

Went for a one night stay, it was amazing. The hotel is fabulous staff are fabulous. it was a real 10 out of 10. The beds were super comfy, so were the pillows, the breakfast which was included in the room rate and made a super full menu, with plentiful breakfast items that wouldn’t disappoint every taste - I cannot find anything that wasn’t first class. We will stay there again for sure.
