Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers lovely views and a comfy double bed in the rooms. The service was top-notch with friendly staff. The location is ideal, above a beautiful garden, and the dining was delightful with freshly brewed coffee. However, some facilities could be improved, and the price may not offer great value for money.
The hotel is situated in a stunning location surrounded by beautiful gardens, offering a peaceful atmosphere to relax. The rooms provide lovely views, but some may face to the south-west which could be a downside for those seeking different orientations. The service is excellent with options like room service and a welcome drink, enhancing the overall experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were comfy and clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was just perfect. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options. The price was fair, but it would have been better if Wi-Fi was included.
