Very cool architecture and decor, the dining atrium with vertical garden is a little oasis. Delicious breakfast and kind and patient staff. Maria is a goddess who floats through the hotel anticipating your every need with grace and efficiency and impeccable English. For those that want to relive their youth hostel experience but need the finer things will find this fits the bill!

Loved every about the property, but the ladies were amazing. Oriana offered wonderful places to eat and was always their to make the best coffee in town. We loved how quiet and cozy we felt inside. The wall of plants was stunning as was the view from the hotel roof deck! We will be back for sure. Thank you!

We loved our stay at Hotel Kook. The building was beautiful, rooms decorated well, and the breakfast was excellent. Great location too. The bowl of fruit and fruited water available at all hours was a wonderful treat, very appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.
