Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was amazing with a nice, very big bathroom and breathtaking views. However, the air conditioner system didn't cool the room effectively, and noise from a nearby box was disruptive at night. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond with daily clothes cleaning and toiletry provision. The location was convenient for walking to nearby restaurants, bars, and the art market, with easy access to tourist sites. The dining experience was a treat every morning with a variety of options and excellent quality. The facilities were well-maintained and offered a great experience for guests.

The location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was top-notch, offering a variety of delicious options. A truly great value for the money.
