Amazing boutique hotel. Small and perfect! As soon as you walk, you are welcomed. Bags taken and moved to your room. The reception is on the top floor of the hotel. Nice longue area for you to wait if you can't be helped right away. Rooms are very comfortable. Bed is lovely. Shower is fantastic. The body lotion is superb. Hotel providesd a plug adapter for my use for my stay. Life saver. Everyone was super helpful. Location is amazing. Metro station across the street. So central. A perfect oasis.
