A wonderful hotel with excellent friendly staff. The location, for us, was perfect! A 20-minute walk to the city center. But if you don’t like walking, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The hotel itself was great, beautifully decorated. We will definitely come back.

The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
