Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is beautiful on the hill, offering stunning views, but the dining options were not up to par. The service was friendly and well-organized. The rooms were comfortable and clean, albeit lacking a view. The facilities provided were satisfactory, with a few areas needing improvement.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The disabled bathroom facilities were excellent, and the free wifi was convenient. However, the double bed was not very generously sized, and the lounge in the suite was of a basic to low standard.
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. On the bright side, the bed was divine, and the rooms offered especially scenic views. However, I kept falling off the standard lamp, and the furniture was very basic and shabby. The hotel's location on the hill was unique, but waiting forever for a drink in the cocktail bar was a downside.
The hotel offers a variety of room views and a lovely garden. The service was exceptional with very accommodating staff. The location is convenient and close to the city center. The dining experience provided refined dishes with stunning window views. The facilities were well-maintained.
