One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in and we travel a lot. Great location, big rooms, excellent breakfast. Very sad we only stayed one night. Perfect hotel!
Playful, trendy hotel with lots of pink! Great location near the Castle for walking, and bus and tram usage. Staff was friendly and engaging. Breakfasts were really good. Would stay here again!
Excellent location! Wonderful front desk staff, great bartenders and bar selection. And the room was spacious and had AC (very important since we visited during a heat wave). Will be back!
The Tiger Lilly was fun, and lively. The staff was helpful in all areas: food, and guest services. The Saturday boozy brunch had a DJ with a great vibe. Even with music you couldn’t hear in your room. Room was clean quiet, dark with sleep in curtains, AC worked well. Room very comfortable
Ideal location near all amenities; very nice hotel; room a bit dated; breakfast and customer service was very good.

Amazing interior decoration, friendly staff, fantastic room sizes and situated in a great location. We were celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday and had our room upgraded which made our stay even more special- thank you! We will definitely be returning soon.
