Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a blend of modern luxury and historical charm, with comfortable rooms and efficient service. The location is ideal for both leisure and fitness enthusiasts, while the dining options are varied and satisfying. The facilities enhance the overall experience, making it a great value for money choice.
The hotel had very clean rooms, allowed us to check in early, and had seating and a balcony with all amenities, making our stay spectacular. The fresh linen, very comfortable beds, and cushions added to the overall comfort. However, the service was mediocre with some oversight in providing all relevant blankets. The staff, on the other hand, were very friendly and professional. The location was perfect and easy to find, providing a pleasant venue for morning jogs. The dining experience was good overall, but it didn't entirely match the general experience. The facilities were well-equipped, although not perfect. The price was reasonable in consideration of what was offered.
I had a spectacular stay at this beautiful hotel. The rooms were very clean, the fact that they allowed us to check in early was a lovely touch. The fresh, clean linen, very comfortable beds, and cushions made it a truly cozy experience. However, the service was very mediocre at times.
I was delighted by the luxurious and spotlessly clean rooms at the hotel. The early check-in option was a fantastic perk. The service was exceptionally helpful and efficient, making my stay even more enjoyable.
