In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Exceptional location in Lastarria — Guests repeatedly praise the setting as unbeatable, ideal for exploring museums, parks, and dining on foot.
  • Highly rated staff service — From check-in to local tips, the team is frequently called out for going above and beyond.
  • Comfortable, well-equipped rooms — Soundproofing, coffee machines, and air conditioning feature across categories, with balconies in several room types.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Not the cheapest option — At a starting price of £168, it's positioned above budget picks in the area, though value ratings remain solid.
  • Pool is seasonal — The rooftop pool isn't available year-round, so guests planning a swim should check timing.
  • Parking isn't guaranteed — The hotel doesn't list on-site parking; one review mentioned staff helped find parking, implying it's not self-service or convenient.
