I felt like I was in a cozy little space. The room, while exceptionally clean, felt a bit closed off with only a small window, but the views were great even though there was no verandah to enjoy them from. The hotel is perfectly situated near top restaurants within walking distance, making the price tag even sweeter. It's a bit of a downside that there's no real view beyond the window, but overall, great value for what you're getting.

The rooms had exceptional cleanliness and great views, but the small window added to its claustrophobic feel with no veranda to enjoy the view.

This hotel is an absolute gem! The location is perfect, with all the top restaurants within walking distance, and the price is very good for what you get. The rooms are beautifully decorated with amazing views and a very comfy bed. The service here is outstanding; the friendliest receptionist ever, and they couldn't be more obliging. However, dining options are limited, and there aren't many facilities on-site. Overall, a great value for money stay.
