I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Xenia, enjoying the attentive service and good breakfast options. The only downside was the size of the rooms, particularly the 'petite' double, which felt quite cramped. However, the beauty and cleanliness of the hotel made up for it.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Xenia. The staff was genuinely welcoming and made me feel right at home, but I did face some issues with my upgraded room being in the basement. On the upside, the cocktail lounge was a highlight for me, with amazing cosmos that were totally worth it.
