Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had lovely and comfortable rooms with large windows, but they were quite small. The service was lovely and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff went out of their way to look after guests. The location was great, within walking distance to everything we needed. The dining experience offered a great choice of hot dishes but also had shortcomings. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel. The room, although small, was beautifully decorated and had a small balcony perfect for enjoying the morning sun or stargazing at night. The service was friendly and professional, and the location was just perfect. The dining experience was amazing, offering a wide range of tasty options. However, the noise from the kitchen fan was a bit bothersome during certain hours.
The hotel had a lovely big room with great bathroom and comfy chairs, but the small terrace overlooked a road junction. The rooms were not ideal for guests over 6 feet tall. The service was friendly and professional, with staff who really know what they are doing. The location was a pleasure for exploring the beautiful scenery nearby. The dining experience was outstanding but had a minor issue with bacon. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
