We had a wonderful experience from check in to check out. Very clean and comfortable room with well appointed bathroom. Our check in was seamless and Amal was a standout member of the team who made us feel very welcome and provided us with really useful information about what to do and where to eat. Very happy with our stay and highly recommend the hotel.

Love!!! Jessica at the front desk went above and beyond. Pinoy Street Food nearby is the bomb. It was Notte Bianca when I stayed and I could barely hear the festivities in my room. Only complaint was the tiny shower area of the deluxe room.

The hotel was lovely - small and quiet. It is a sister hotel to the AX Rosselli which covered the check in, check out and breakfast. The real stars of the stay were the staff. They were all so welcoming, professional and accommodating. Honestly, it is the top notch service which would encourage me to return.

This is a beautiful hotel. The concierge was amazing - we arrived late at night and he was watching for us! The room is wonderfully appointed - much more luxurious than we expected for this price. We wish we were staying longer instead of catching a cruise today.

Not the best but great location

No outside window made the room very dark so wouldn’t stay again. Staff were lovely and so was breakfast but no facilities and not made aware of whether we could use facilities in sister hotel. Superb location for sites and restaurants and bars though.
