"This former convent turned boutique hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the city's main attractions. ... Most guest rooms have a disappointingly stark appearance." Full review
"A 16th-century convent is now this superb hotel. The large rooms, some of which are on two levels, are all decorated differently."
"In a relatively quiet residential neighborhood, around the corner from the superior Monna Lisa, with its elegant and whimsical interiors, this property moves in a more contemporaneous direction." Full review

"It retains something of its old ambience while the rooms have been fitted out in crisp but luxuriously modern style."
