Excellent stay at 47 Luxury suites. Hosts are super friendly and helpful and easily contactable. Location is convenient for Metro, local restaurants or walking into the centre. Stayed in maisonette which was clean and contemporary in design. Loved the terrace area with private hot tub belonging to maisonette. 5 stars all around.

Our holiday was amazing and we owe this largely to the hospitality and ideas given to us by our hosts. Amazing apartment and great location. Quite and safe area but full of great restaurants and a few minutes away from the main monuments

9/10 Wonderful! (202 reviews)
We loved the whole look and feel of this hotel; the place is amazing. The location is meh, you would need a car (or taxi) to get around. we had a very nice dinner about 10 car-minutes from the hotel, but there's not really anything close by. The room we stayed in was gorgeous, but the bed was uncomfortable: the mattress was very hard and the bed itself (the springs?) was very loud. The bed itself was very pretty with the wide wooden edge, but because of this almost impossible to get into. The shower... Oh man that shower. That shower is the standard for showers from now on. Breakfast was very good. Staff at check in and breakfast were very kind!
