    I always love coming to stay at the Lord Nelson. The building itself is gorgeous, especially the lobby, and there’s tons of bars and restaurants nearby. I literally just walked across the street and had an amazing meal at an Italian restaurant. Customer service is amazing too!!

    I booked the Classic King Room after reading reviews that the Double Room was too small. The room turned out to be great, but the bathroom was too tiny and that - along with other minor inconveniences (such as not having breakfast included with the rate, the courtyard ‘view’, etc) - made me feel like it wasn’t worth the money I was paying. To their credit, they moved us to a different room when I said I was unhappy (see what I said about friendly and accommodating staff), but this was after we’d spent 2 nights already in the other room (which I wish we hadn’t been put in to begin with)

    The staff were friendly and accommodating; location is excellent and there are many interesting things to do and see nearby (you don’t need a car to get around the area); liked all the toiletries on offer; liked the towels and bed linen; loved that the wifi was excellent enough for me to work and handle zoom calls from my room; enjoyed the view from my second room (see explanation below); loved the charm of staying in an old hotel (for some reason it makes me recall some historical fiction books I’ve read)

    Great location but overpriced. Friedly staff partly compensates this.

    The rooms are overpriced (+400€ for 1 standard queenroom night without breakfast) my room had a rooftop view with technical equipment on it. Elevator issues so long waiting times to get up/down. And as a detail: the lowest quality toilet paper at these room prices are a no-no. I would value the room more in the 200-250€ range (frequent traveller experience).

    good location with on prem parking. staff was very friendly and did all they could to be flexible.

    Very expensive. Parking was expensive. Maybe it's me, but I found the desk staff to be...not very friendly. I.E. Waited 3 mins for a desk clerk to hang up on a personal call.

    Nice old hotel in a good area. Clean and comfortable. Parking was convenient.
