This hotel definitely lives up to its reputation as a social media favorite. The room was spacious and I was lucky enough to get one directly facing Plaza de España, with a view of the Cervantes Monument. I even saw a stunning sunset from my room on the day I checked in – it was a fantastic experience. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety, but it was very crowded, and the staff seemed quite indifferent. The rooftop was bustling in the evening, but I had a great experience going up early the next morning when it was empty. Overall, it's a hotel worth staying at.

The biggest highlight of this hotel is its rooftop bar. You just take the elevator to the top floor and then join the queue. Try to avoid peak times, as it gets extremely crowded in the evening, and you might have to wait at least half an hour.

True to its reputation as a landmark hotel, the location is absolutely fantastic. Right next door to the Spanish Steps, there's an underground hub for various car rental companies. The hotel itself is quite large, and although breakfast felt a bit crowded, everything was well-organized. The elevators have a unique design. The view from the top floor is absolutely stunning, better than any tourist attraction, and having a drink there in the evening isn't even expensive. The room was spacious; we booked a family room that had three windows. Breakfast was abundant, and surprisingly, there are several Mala Tang and bubble tea shops nearby.

I have to give this hotel a huge thumbs up! From the moment I checked in until I left, the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. The room was fully equipped, and I particularly loved the smart toilet and screen casting feature. The cleanliness was impeccable, with every detail taken care of. The cleaning staff tidied up diligently every day and even left thoughtful little snacks. The hotel's self-service laundry and gym being free to use is perfect for long-stay guests. The staff were friendly and always happy to help, truly deserving of a five-star rating!

Location is good. 1min go to metro station. The cleanliness is just so so. The service is below average, I ask for complimentary bottle of water for 2 times because 2nd day never top up, they always say yes, will send. But in the end never send. S$300+ dollar per night definitely not worth to it. Won’t visit again

The location is super convenient, right in the city center, making it easy to get everywhere. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. The hotel breakfast was good, but it was incredibly crowded. They upgraded me to a suite, which was quite spacious, but the overall facilities weren't particularly luxurious.
