I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were so cutely decorated in a country theme, which made them not just practical but also exotic, warm, and cozy. The service was excellent, with the staff putting their heart and soul into ensuring each guest had all they needed, even arranging discounts on taxis and offering freshly baked breads and croissants. The location couldn't have been better, just beside all the restaurants at St Catherine and right off the St Katherine subway stop. The dining experience was delightful with affordable options and the facilities were top-notch.

I had a blast staying at this hotel! The rooms were quirky and fun just as I expected, with unique decorations inspired by different countries. The loft setup worked perfectly for me and my two children, although I was sad we had to leave early for our Eurostar journey back home.
