8.0/10

The hotel has a cozy room but with cold air rushing in that you couldn't turn off; it was pretty small for the price. The service by the Michelin star chef was extremely friendly, offering a welcome drink and happy hour. The location is convenient, nestled in a quiet area. The dining experience, although hand-cut beef tartare might not be to everyone's tastes, caters to everyone's palate.
