Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had such a pleasant stay at this hotel! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room had such attractive furnishings. The shower was fantastic, too. However, the price was a bit high, but it was definitely worth the value for the experience I had. The service was excellent, with room service available and the staff being so attentive. The location was perfect, close to everything I needed. The dining experience was top-notch with a variety of hot and cold dishes to choose from, and the facilities were just what I needed for a relaxing stay.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its uniquely decorated rooms and very comfortable beds. The shower was great too. The furnishings were attractive, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The only downside was the slightly higher price compared to similar hotels in the area.
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The rooms were beautifully decorated and had a super comfy bed. The shower was amazing! The service was impeccable, from the room service to the tours assistance they offered. The location was just perfect, within walking distance of all the major attractions. The only downside was the lack of hot food options during my stay on the roof deck, but the chocolate croissants were a delightful treat!
