Beautiful, quiet and clean hotel. 24-hour reception and pleasant people. Super breakfast, very tasty. Comfortable beds. Restaurants and shops 3 min walk, to the center 20 min. I recommend visiting pubs - Lavery's Bar, The Points, Crown Liquor Saloon !!!!! and Kelly's Cellars!!!!! These are experiences. I recommend accommodation, place and price.

The sumptuous rooms have crisp Egyptian linens, and the elegant bathrooms feature fluffy robes and designer toiletries. All rooms have an LCD TV, air conditioning and a minibar.

The impressive hotel features designer interiors, modern artwork and colourful furnishings throughout. Guests can relax in the luxury lounge areas, and there is also a 24-hour front desk.

Service by the staff was exemplary. The concierge team was excellent and made us feel most comfortable and at home. Despite changes in shift, our requests were always followed through by the different teams. The staff at the breakfast area was very welcoming and helpful. The very tall lady always welcomed us with a cheery good morning and she remembered us and our preferences. We didnt manage to get her name though. Thank you all so much for being so professional yet welcoming, friendly and helpful! 5 stars for all the people that made the experience possible. By the second day, we always looked out for the logo atop the hotel. It is like coming home.

    The Warren was within 15 minute walk from Europa Bus Station. The check-in was coded and easy. The hallway was stunning and our room so beautiful. The furniture and decor was gorgeous. Lovely bathroom. The breakfast was plentiful and all self service. It was so reasonably priced for a city centre. I would definitely book the Warren again.

    Small boutique hotel, beautiful decor, rooms smell lovely and have great use of mirrors, best rainwater shower I have ever been in, lots of lovely touches (water, chocolates, great coffee) and really friendly and helpful staff (thank you for the oat milk for our room and storing our luggage after check out). The concierge top hats are clearly not comfortable but look great 😍

    Great interior design. Nice and clean. The location is also handy for walking into town and there are some interesting restaurants etc. nearby. The breakfast room was nice (self service) but maybe a few more instructions (ie. how to use the cooker for eggs), labels on cupboards would help.

    The Flint is not really a hotel, but also not a serviced appartment building: It is something in between. The location could hardly be better and the parking option nearby was convenient as well. I enjoyed the space of my room and the convenient kitchenette. Also I was happy to be able to use the laundry room. My room was quite tastefully furnished but it was not the work of an interior designer.

    Deffinately staying again! The breakfast was absolutely adequate. If we would have wanted a full english or so, we would have been able to Cook it up, as everything is available in the spacious kitchen. lots of fresh eggs, Toast and other breakfast goodies available. It's a DIY service, but lovely. The room was adequate, very clean and we loved the interior design! The staff was very friendly and helpful! Everyone we met, who also stayed there was lovely, friendly and outgoing. Great vibe and athmosphere
