Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with some drawbacks to consider. The rooms, while not meeting premium standards for the price paid, were still cozy and included nice amenities like robes and a complimentary bottle of water. However, the presence of a large mobile air conditioning unit was a bit inconvenient. The service was friendly and helpful, though be cautious of additional service charges, and the owner's approach to pricing might deter guests from returning. The location is convenient, especially for exploring the surrounding areas, and the outdoor pool adds to the relaxed atmosphere. The dining experience, located in a separate townhouse, fell short on value for money with high additional charges for breakfast and overpriced food and drinks. Overall, a mixed but passable experience.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were decorated to an extremely high standard, and my suite, number 33, was absolutely bewitching. I've never seen anything like it before. The copper bath and superb shower added a luxurious touch, making it a great choice for a special treat. However, being placed in the newly added rooms in a converted cottage building added to the charm of the experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of stunning visuals and some inconveniences. The room, situated at the back of the main building, offered a unique and unusual experience amid ongoing construction noise. While the dark ambiance added to the atmosphere, it made daily routines like makeup application challenging.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The quirky and themed rooms, though not as spacious as expected, had a dark and dimly lit ambiance with some safety concerns. The staff was friendly but lacked proactive problem-solving skills. The location, though furnished nicely, felt dated and had some inconveniences regarding deposits and fees. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited options and additional charges.
