8.1Verified guest“We had a fantastic stay. The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—they even swapped our room for one with a better view. The room was luxurious, with all the modern comforts like air conditioning, a mini-bar and a safe. The bed was super comfy and the room was quiet at night. The shower was the standout, like a warm rain bath. Room service and housekeeping were excellent too.”

8.1Verified guest“We liked the location, but the room was tiny and nothing like the pictures. The bathroom was so small you could barely turn around, and with red walls and a mirror opposite the bed it felt a bit odd.”
