I was really looking forward to staying at this hotel, but my experience was quite disappointing. While the service was attentive and the staff tried their best to accommodate us, the rooms clearly need some urgent renovations and maintenance. The location is convenient for accessing attractions, but I’d suggest considering other options if you're looking for modern comforts.

Our layover stay in this hotel was delightful, featuring a charming old-world atmosphere and attentive service. The suite we had was spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. However, the restaurant experience left us unimpressed due to a noisy lunch crowd and a lackluster dessert selection. Overall, it felt like great value for money, especially considering the location and amenities.

My stay at this boutique hotel was wonderful! The room was spacious and comfortable, and I really enjoyed the stunning view from my window. The dining experiences exceeded my expectations, especially the breakfast. However, the noise from events inside the hotel was a bit disruptive during the day, so it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet getaway.
