Hotel Once is a standout for staycations. I stayed in the Jacuzzi Executive room, which features a large in-room jacuzzi and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows. The room's chandelier adds a touch of glamour, perfect for capturing Instagram-worthy moments. It's an ideal spot for couples looking to create memorable experiences.
The hotel's location is convenient, close to the popular Asiatique riverside attraction. The area is surrounded by locally recommended restaurants and numerous specialty coffee shops.
The room was well-equipped with amenities including soap, conditioning shampoo, a hairdryer, and purchasable bath bombs. However, separate hair conditioner was not provided. A tasty mocktail welcome drink is served at the 8th-floor restaurant, which can also be enjoyed at the rooftop. They also offer a delicious welcome snack of soft cookies.
Staff service was attentive and thorough.
Breakfast is a buffet à la carte style. While each dish takes some time to prepare, it ensures hot, freshly made food. The taste was excellent. I tried the Pork Basil Rice, Pork Rice Porridge, Eggs Benedict, and the American Breakfast set. Coffee is available, though I didn't try it. The buffet line includes bread, yogurt, fruits, salad, and fruit juices.
Unfortunately, due to heavy rain, the rooftop was closed during my stay. However, I managed to visit later at night and found the ambiance perfect for a romantic date.
While overall impressed, there were some drawbacks. The cold water tap in the bathroom sink had very low pressure. More critically, the air conditioner was extremely noisy. As a light sleeper, this significantly disrupted my rest, leading to a restless night and a headache the next morning.
In conclusion, while Hotel Once offers many attractive features, the core function of a hotel - providing a good night's sleep - was compromised. This aspect somewhat diminishes its standing as a top-tier hotel in my view.
