I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy, the service was top-notch, and the location was superb. However, the dining options left something to be desired. The facilities were great, but there were a few drawbacks in terms of value for money.
The hotel was a great find, offering a cozy atmosphere with charming rooms and excellent service. However, some noise from the street could be heard at times. The location was ideal, close to main attractions while still tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.
