Guest reviews for The Alan

Tania - 19/03/2026 20:11:15

"Very convenient location, comfortable bed and very good breakfast. Definitely recommended."

"Only two minor flaws: - the sink was a little bit narrow so water would spill on the floor when washing our face - the walls were quite thin and during the night we got woken up by our (loud and drunk) neighbors"

"The hotel is perfectly located in the centre and close to public transport and attractions you can walk to. The building itself is beautiful and the best is the lobby area and restaurant which is impressive and modern. Our quadruple room was spacious enough for 4 and so was the bathroom. Very well equipped room with Minibar, hairdryer, iron/ board, tea making facilities, extra pillows etc . Breakfast buffet and breakfast menu was great although we had to call the staff to place the order. Nice presentation of breakfast from the menu and good quality food."

"Room was prepared for 2 although we were 4 and I had to ask for more towels and glasses. There should be more spare toilet paper for 4 guests as well. There was a "plant or extractor" noise going on and off which you could hear through the window, but in general there was no noise to be heard from the corridors . There's only a bed side table on one side of the bed and a small shelf on the other side could have been convenient for the person sleeping on the other side to leave his / her things. Staff doesn't go round regularly enough to clear tables or ensure the customer has enough cutlery on the table. The access to the downstairs toilet is not very nice and clear."

"U.S. comfort if king bed and large accessible bathroom/shower in a setting of European charm. Excellent location around the corner from St Peter’s square. The staff were so friendly and helpful! The breakfast was outstanding."

"Aucun."

"Room was clean and large, very accommodating for 3 individuals like us. Bathroom was clean with clean towels. The AC was quite loud at night, but we head earplugs to sort it out. Breakfast offered a wide variety to choose from, very happy overall!"

"Ventilation system was quite loud at night."

"Excellent location, spacious rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast is immaculate and I would definitely recommend having it."

"Location amazing, room was a great size. Didn't need to see staff much but when we did, all lovely"

"Best way to put it is, noise from other rooms was loud at one point."

Emma - 23/12/2025 23:54:02

"The room was clean and spacious. We were given a top floor room so we had nice views and it was quiet. Comfy beds. Good breakfast. You can order some al a carte choices, as part of breakfast. Hotel messaged to confirm on my request for a cot. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Stylish hotel in the center of town."

"Nothing."

Maryam - 19/12/2025 21:32:13

"The room was spacious with nice designs and colors The breakfast was also delicious Location was great"

"The staff were not helpful they would not help us carry our luggage up to the room or down or up the stairs. Even when we ask them to do so. The room is noisy. You could hear either the people next to your room or on the street."
