The hotel boasts a central location. Rooms are well-decorated, resulting in a pleasant atmosphere. Staff members are helpful, remaining ready to assist guests. I found its design gorgeous. Breakfast included fresh berries with quality choices.
The room faced an alley, so there was noise from loud conversations late into the night. This was the only drawback.

The breakfast was delicious. It had plenty of choice. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful.
My room was offsite and somewhat disappointing. The room was small and had a basic bathroom. It looked out onto an unappealing roof with an aircon unit.
