Reviews and Ratings
When I arrived at the hotel, I found the rooms to be really well designed, comfortable, and spacious, although a bit icy cold initially. The service was efficient and the location excellent, being close to the city center but still extremely quiet. However, the dining experience was not worth the high price, lacking value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, quaint, and well-appointed, offering a modern touch, which was a nice contrast to the usual cramped quarters in the city. However, the initial room temperature was uncomfortably cold due to the heating being switched off. On the bright side, the access to the garden was a delightful feature to enjoy during my stay.
