The hotel had a small window in the lounge area, needing renovation, but the management quickly addressed the issue without any hassle. While the room was clean, it was evident that it required significant repair and modernization.

6.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and disappointing experiences. The rooms were impeccably decorated in a Chinoiserie style with a stunningly comfortable bed and ample storage, but some parts seemed worn out and in need of repairs, especially the bathroom. The service was friendly overall, though there were some instances of internal disagreements among staff. The location was great for meeting up with family and friends, but lacked a baby-friendly environment and needed refurbishment. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with a high-quality offering alongside service issues. Despite its flaws, the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel offers seclusion and the ability to enjoy the weather on your own patio, but the rooms were a bit tired and could use a refurbishment. The service was welcoming but seemed overwhelmed at times. The location was clean but a bit challenging to navigate. The dining experience was adequate, setting me up for the day. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
