7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The location was great, close to the places I wanted to visit, and the rooms, although small at first, turned out to be spacious and well-furnished. However, the service lacked warmth while the dining options were not included in the rate, making it less convenient for guests.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large, attractively appointed, and very comfortable with a lovely view, but they lacked proper airflow which made them very stuffy. The service was a highlight with friendly and accommodating staff, though some areas like breakfast seating could improve. The location was beautiful and classic, especially for exploring nearby landmarks, but there were minor inconveniences like slow breakfast service. The dining options varied from ordinary to good, depending on the setting and organization. Overall, a nice stay with a few areas that could be enhanced.
