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.

My stay at this hotel was truly unique and delightful. The rooms, like the Congo room we stayed in, were exotic, warm, and cozy, perfect for a family with children like us. The atmosphere was so original, and the loft setup with beds upstairs was a hit with the kids. The option to choose with or without breakfast was convenient for our stay.

Staying at the hotel was a unique experience as it represented a country in a delightful way. The location on a busy square in the evening was lively but not noisy at night, the staff were charming, the hotel quirky and spotless, and it offered great value for money. Exploring around the hotel rather than always heading to the main city square was a pleasant discovery.

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. The hotel's location on a lively square was great for evening vibes but surprisingly quiet at night. The staff was delightful, the hotel itself was both quirky and spotless, and the value for money was exceptional.
