Guest Reviews 4.7 / 5
An absolutely lovely hotel. Great location on a busy ancient street but well soundproofed room. There is no lobby but is attended by the AX Rosselli just a couple doors down. This review includes information about both locations combined. Staff is fabulous. We need to leave at 5am for an early flight and they offered to have the restaurant make us a special meal prior to our departure. The AX Rosselli includes 2 Michelin star restaurants plus a rooftop lounge. As you would expect, the food is phenomenal with impeccable service. (And there is another Michelin star restaurant literally 10 meters across the street. And yet another a block away.) Our room was spacious and very well appointed. Great shower and we had a balcony room looking over the street. Truly beautiful atrium and fantastic overall experience.
We checked in at reception and went a few doors down to The Saint John's Boutique hotel. It works perfectly. This hotel is ideally located for the city centre. The room was lovely and the bed was huge and comfortable. The service was 5star hospitality. We had a small problem with the plugs and maintenance was at our door within 5 minutes and fixed it. Highly recommend the breakfast. It was a highlight and one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had.
The rooms are a sort of annex to the Rosselli hotel a few doors down, where the reception is. Breakfast is either outside, in a smartly fitted terrace or inside, in the spacious and very elegant lobby area (which I preferred to the actual dining room which was often quite crowded). I was on the street side, very lively and a bit noisy but the windows are very well insulated - I slept like a brick every night. Delicare sleepers may want to try find rooms at the back. Everything was very comfortable and the location perfect, but what stood out for me was the service by all the staff, which was impeccable and very attentive in a refined way.
