I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was cozy and had a lovely view from the balcony. The service was top-notch, from the friendly desk staff to the attentive maids. The location was perfect, within walking distance of nice restaurants and shops. The dining experience was delightful with delicious pastries. The facilities were excellent, exceeding my expectations.
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are cozy and clean, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect. The only minor downside is the limited dining options, but overall, it's a great place to stay.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with a huge wrap-around balcony and welcoming air conditioning. The rooms were cozy with narrow slit windows, and all the facilities worked as expected. The service from the desk staff to the maids was very helpful and accommodating, even granting our request for an early check-in. The location was perfect, just up from the old city area with many shops nearby. Dining offered delicious pastries and seasonal dishes. The hotel's facilities were top-notch, making my stay enjoyable.
