Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of classic charm and pleasant surprises. The rooms need a few upgrades like a coffee machine and better-equipped frigo bar, but the junior suite I had was delightful. The location is bustling with shops and cafes, making it a vibrant choice. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities were acceptable.
