"The breakfast selection was extensive and fresh, the staff were really friendly and did everything to accomodate guests and the property is new, combine that with the hotel staff cleaning the rooms so well, our rooms were spotless"
"Beautiful design hotel in a nice area. All facilities are great. We had a bottle of wine and water in our room as a lovely compliment.
There was also a nice empty fridge for our things and plenty of space. The lighting was bright enough and very stylish.
I loved that the area was relatively quiet despite the city location, so we could sleep with the balcony door open.
Some feedback for the management:
1. Having two bags of black tea instead of one and a couple of milk capsules in the tea/coffee station would make it even better.
2. Staff is a bit indifferent, and they made a mistake that left us with no parking spot despite confirming upon check in that we will have it. Kinda felt like they don’t care about guests much.
3. The hotel chain promotes its app but it’s super buggy, leads to another app for this specific hotel that doesn’t work too. When I tried to use it in the first evening, it said I was checked out 😅
But everything else is really nice."

"An exceptional hotel experience at the Savoy. This was our second visit and it just gets better and better. The spa treatments and restaurant selection on site are world class. I look forward to our third visit!"
