Really good Service and Beautiful Design

central courtyard roof terrace excellent staff

The hotel is a beautiful building with a central courtyard. There is a roof terrace including a pool, bar and restaurant. Our room was wonderful. The breakfasts were great with excellent staff.

The room was very dark. There was not enough light to shave or read. The toilet seat did not stay up. The shower drained onto the bedroom floor.

Service

10/10

Dining

9/10
