Recent reports conflict. Sources disagree about the setup here, which often means the hotel changed machines or that room types differ. The sources on each side are listed under “How we know”, so you can weigh them yourself.
What to bring
Check which Nespresso line before you buy
We have confirmed a Nespresso machine in the room but not which line it is. Original and Vertuo capsules are completely incompatible, so buying ahead is a coin flip. The machines are easy to tell apart on arrival: Vertuo takes round, domed capsules and spins them; Original takes the smaller cone-shaped capsules.
- Wait until you see the machine, then buy capsules locally
- If you must pack ahead, bring a small pour-over or instant option as a fallback
Been in this room? Which Nespresso line it is takes one tap to say, and settles this for the next traveller. Tell us which line.
Not sure? Ask the hotel
The quickest way to a definite answer is a two-line message to the property. Here is one you can paste into their contact form, an email, or a chat. If they tell you, we would love to hear it — use the form below.
