Next - by Savoy Signature
My stay at Next - by Savoy Signature was truly enjoyable. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service. Located in a charming neighborhood with a local vibe, I had plenty of great dining and drinking options just steps away. Plus, it’s only a 10-minute walk to the city center—perfect for exploring on foot. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after a day out. The only minor issue was a slight AC hum when the terrace door was open, but it didn’t disrupt my rest. The bed was incredibly comfortable—I’m usually not a fan of hotel pillows, but these were surprisingly good. Breakfast was generous and varied, with something for everyone. Whether you like fresh pastries, eggs, or local treats, there’s a little bit of everything. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value and a memorable experience. I’d happily come back.
