Pros (+) Beautiful building. We had a suite with a balcony and it was gorgeous.
Cons (-) Probably a very American complaint, but the a/c didn’t work and it was quite muggy in the room. Our room wasn’t ready even though we arrived after check-in, which was odd. And then housekeeping walked in without knocking even though we had the privacy tassel on the door. He said he was told we had already checked out, which again, was odd, because we hadn’t.

Shirley, Apr 2025
Pros (+) The location is excellent and although the room wasn’t large, having the balcony gave a sense of extra space as well as offering a lovely outlook. The facilities are of a very high quality and the restaurant and outside areas are superb. The staff were always friendly and attentive.
Cons (-) The room size isn’t large but is probably standard for the area.

Pros (+) The hotel is located in the center of the city, close to the train station and all the shops at walkable distance.
