Decanter Hotel draws praise for its rooftop terrace access and 24-hour lobby coffee, though some note noise issues in street-facing rooms. Guests mention the restaurant's limited menu and the enclosed bar's Thursday to Sunday schedule with occasional early closures. Several reviewers highlight the absence of breakfast and the policy requiring room keys at the front desk. The rooftop bar named Bar Catedral offers city views on the fourth floor.
