Stayed five nights. Great bed. Clever design of spacious room full of automation. Very good bathroom. Many thanks to the helpful reception especially to Myriam for her assistance and advice.

I stayed at the hotel last week and I absolutely loved it! The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming. The room was clean, simple and cosy. I was tired from a long work trip and then a diving trip. It was perfect to get some good rest. It’s well located to reach pretty anywhere I needed to go. I would highly recommend Crystalbrook Bailey for anyone visiting the city!

Anything that I wish was a little bit ...
