Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms felt comfortable and safe, with a soothing sober design, though they resembled those in a youth hostel. Service was fantastic with extremely nice staff who went the extra mile to keep the area clean and safe. The location, while exceptional, did not match the setting as I would have preferred a room in the newer part of the hotel. The dining options were lovely but somewhat overpriced. Overall, a decent stay but with room for improvement.
