The Nest s a gem. It is in a very convenient area, is beautifully landscaped, and the staff is outstanding. The breakfast is excellent and there are many lovely places to sit and even have meetings. Highly recommended.

quite place
The staff are friendly, and the location is quite still. I didn't expect breakfast at all, but it was much better than I thought.

I booked this hotel however, they sent me to the sister hotel Nest Kimi. The location is amazing, 15 minutes walk to the convention center where, there great restaurants. It is a very walking area of town very safe also. There are many dining options around the hotel Nest Kimi itself just few steps away. There is no room cleaning services throughout my 4 days there. The breakfast area is smaller but you can order options from the menu whis great. You can order smoothly, pancakes, omelets. No ac or fan in the room. There is a nest in the room but not prevent some bites however. Be aware that they may ask to again at the check out even with prepaid reservation. You need to have your Hotels.com recept with you

Séjour impeccable
Hôtel très confortable, bien situé, service impeccable….. un petit manque malgré tout, le petit déjeuner qui n’est pas à la hauteur.
Le personnel est incroyable, merci à eux.
