"The property is located in a nice area. Lots of restaurants and night life. The staff are super helpful and the cleaning crew did a great job. Room for improvement the breakfast was abundant but only one cup of coffee maybe coffee should be open. Shampoo and body gel shower should be separate instead of the same for both the hair and body. The room description should be more accurate indicating that all rooms had the same size bed had I known that I would have chosen a different room."

Artion City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We were here for two nights. This hotel is really well located. Just outside the city centre so you get a good nights sleep. We can not fault it. A lovely internal court yard where you can enjoy the excellent breakfast. I think the hot tub in the advertisment photo is either attached to another room or no longer exists. We did not have a balcony but no problem with that. Our flight back to the U.K was at 11.30p.m. Staff allowed us to store our cases in the reception area so we could enjoy the rest of the day in the city without having to worry. (I think this is routinue if you ask as other's had done the same thing). Recommend a stay."
