We were there for just one night so did not manage to try the food, but bed was very comfortable. The mattress was comfortably firm. AC not bad, but could be better. The 4 pillows were comfy.. The decor was up to date and thoughtfully designed.

Very beautiful small hotel. Location was excellent. The bedroom was very spacious and confortable. Super clean very good service. Very satisfied with the hotel.
Rosa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We were put into a room on the first floor which was above the entrance of the property and right next to the road. It was noisy even with ear plugs, a banging sound could be heard (probably the front doors below every time they were used throughout the night). Staff friendly and location convenient but wouldn’t stay again due to noise.
K, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The original room booked was quite small for the price paid, however I did upgrade to the largest room option, which was large enough, and the hotel did reduce the normal upgrade fee because I was a VIP guest. The hotel itself was really nice, clean and nicely decorated, the facilities were very good, and the staff were very helpful and professional.
