I personally would not recommend Hotel Da Vinci based on my experience.
Although I informed the hotel in advance that I would arrive late in the night due to my delayed flight and specifically requested a room away from the lift, I was initially given a completely different room from the one I had booked and paid for — located right next to the lift. The room was large, but very dark in style and not at all what was advertised.
The amenities were also disappointing. There were no slippers, no coffee facilities, no iron, no electric kettle.,no coffee/tea,no dental kit, and many of the amenities listed for my room type were missing. The room only had one bottle of water in the “mini-bar.”
The next morning, I was told at breakfast that I was not on the list and that breakfast was not included, even though I had already paid for three breakfasts. I had to go back and forth between the breakfast area and reception before the issue was finally resolved.
The breakfast itself was also very disappointing. The selection was not varied at all, and the breakfast staff did not feel welcoming or polite. I often felt uncomfortable, as they kept watching guests closely and made it feel like they were waiting for you to finish eating as quickly as possible, rather than creating a relaxed atmosphere.
Thankfully, one receptionist was very kind and professional. She showed me alternative rooms, including the room type I had originally booked, helped me change rooms, and provided slippers and extra toiletries when I asked. I really appreciated her help.
The location is also not ideal, around a 15-minute walk from the nearest metro station and quite far from the centre in a quiet area.
Overall, after my experience, I would not stay here again.
