The hotel is good for lovers of past times, as if you find yourself in the century before last, paintings in the lobby, twisted staircases, intricate corridors, crystal chandeliers. The atmosphere is pompous at the same time warm and familiar nostalgia for the past.

Good location with a about a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral area. Hotel is very near a metro stop which makes getting to the airport easy. Nice good size bright room with modern bathroom. The hotel is a traditional design. Good breakfast in a pleasant dining room. I would recommend this hotel that was good value when we visited in February.

Nice location. Definitely not a 5 stars. The hotel is needing a good upgrade as it is old looking. Staff not the friendliest. Breakfast buffet was just average, not enough space for all the customers. We will go back though and give them another chance.

This is not a 5 star hotel, but rather a 3 star. The location and building are fantastic. You get to stay in a nice imperial looking building in a quiet area close to all the monuments. The bed was not made (just a duvet folded on top of a fitted sheet - which meant we had to actually made the bed at night), which is something I would expect at a 5 star hotel. Also, details such as toiletries and towels are expected to be nicer when the hotel has that rating. Breakfast was nice, but missing fresh fruit and not just fruit salad. The service was average. The servers kept rushing taking plates and cutlery out of the table even if not finished, and when taking cutlery they wouldn't replace it automatically even if there are more plates on the table. Also, the breakfast room was disappointing. Being such a nice building you would expect that room to match, but it was just a plain white room with blue chairs (some of them with stains) and a decoration of paintings for sale that were clearly not part of the hotel theme. Again, good location and stay but not worth the 5 star rating.

An old style hotel with plenty of character and lots of chandeliers. Reception staff helpful and efficient. Room was clean and tidy. Lovely beds. Bathroom had a great walk in shower with lashings of hot water. Loved the blue curtains. Had breakfast included which was tasty and lots of choice. Great central location for exploring the city sights and only 5 minutes walk to the main Christmas market which is well worth a visit.

Not the best hotel experience I've had. Hotel seems very fancy on both interior and exterior. Rooms are clean and location is great. Breakfast was also very good and enjoyable. However, there were several problems that made the stay less joyful. First of all there is literally no Wi-Fi, you can get connection only in some places of the room and even there it is very slow. Then, shower was very narrow and it was very hard to have a shower without spilling water everywhere, plus the water was running very slowly. Lastly, most of the staff didn't understand or spoke any English, at all. Considering everything I'd give a 3 star review to this hotel.

It might have been a 5 star hotel but 10+ years ago. Everything is clean and nice but when you walk into the bathroom you just know it's old. It just doesn't look good anymore. At least bathrooms should have been refreshed every couple years. Breakfast was just OK, too bad it was the same food everyday.

The hotel was comfortable. We had a large room with sitting area- a sofa and chairs low table. A walk in shower and also a bath. The breakfast was buffet style lots of choice. Evening meals- menu did not change. two specials each evening. If we compare the hotel to similar hotels in Italy which were more luxurious and 4 Star. The price in Italy was much lower. The Hotel De France. is more expensive . Why?
