Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sommerro is praised for its beautiful art deco design, stemming from a transformed utility building, with guests often highlighting the spacious and well-kept rooms, particularly the deluxe rooms with large windows that open onto charming surroundings. The breakfast is also a standout feature, often described as lavish with cooked-to-order options. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of attractions like the National Museum and the Royal Palace. However, some guests have found the loft rooms to be quite small, which may not be comfortable for longer stays.

the art deco design felt so romantic. it was like stepping back in time. the breakfast offered many fresh options. janine in the restaurant provided excellent attention, a kind soul.

the pool use came with an extra charge. i found this surprising, especially for a hotel of this caliber. the menu seemed uninspired.

the room was comfortable enough.

The replenishment of milk and teabags in my room over three nights never happened. A minor but irritating oversight.

The hotel provides complimentary access to a well equipped gym. The breakfast included various fresh options. The hotel's location offers easy access to key attractions. Staff were very helpful and attentive to guests.

The stairs at the front entrance made carrying luggage challenging. More proactive assistance with luggage would be beneficial. Clear guidance could improve the arrival experience.

delicious options interior design

I loved the amazing breakfast choices. The gluten-free options were the best i have ever had. the interior design was so beautiful, it seemed like i was in a movie. janine gave us excellent attention in the restaurant, and she made our mornings so much better.

The air conditioning could not be lowered by more than 3 degrees celsius. One night i was very hot, and lowering it only 3 degrees was not enough. the rooms are also small, and that was a little inconvenient for storing my luggage.
