The decor and position of the hotel were excellent, very stylish and unusual. The lighting in the room was dramatic but did not include a convenient reading light. My sink had no plug and to door had to be kicked to gain access.
The hotel; is very convenient to the museums of art, on a direct tram line to the historic centre and with plenty of cafes and restaurants all around. However we were led to expect a bar and cafe available to guests. The Expedia description listed A bar/lounge, A coffee shop/cafe, A restaurant, Restaurants on-site, Pilar Foodbar – This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and light fare. Guests can enjoy drinks at the bar.' The 'Top rated breakfast' was first of all offered available only from Wednesday to Sunday and then unexpectedly on Tuesday as well. It was very nice but the same dishes varied in size from day to day. There was no dinner on Monday and Tuesday or on Wednesday and Thursday when, because of a private function, there was no access to the restaurant, cafe or bar. In fact we were told we could not have a drink on the terrace either. There is now where to sit and wait for friends in the foyer
Expedia states that 'The front desk is open daily from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM'. It was often unstaffed and we had problems checking out quickly with a taxi waiting as there were no staff available.
