Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were nice and had plenty of hot water, but the construction noise and generator nearby were a bit bothersome. The service was a mix of excellent and rude encounters. The location was great, but there were some lingering cooking smells. The dining options were satisfactory but could be more varied. However, the hotel facilities were good.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were not only spacious but also offered a nice pool view, making it a delightful experience. The food was fresh and delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment. However, the dining options were quite expensive.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with live music/singers nightly, but the location requires a long walk and climbing of four staircases, which can be very inconvenient. The food is good, and the reception service is commendable, although the rooms are described as tired and old-fashioned.
