The hotel boasts beautiful artwork. Our room offered a spacious layout. It featured a great bed for restful nights. The shower provided superb water pressure. The courtyard bar added charm, perfect for relaxation. Breakfast in the courtyard was a good experience. It provided a pleasant start to each day.

Some Issues at this Hotel

loud music extra parking

The noise was a real issue for me. I wasn't told that it was right next to a couple of bars when I booked it. I thought parking was included. I didn't realize you had to pay extra for it. The staff should make that clearer from the start

This apartment had two bedrooms and each had its own bathroom. The apartment included a kitchen with all the equipment you need. I also appreciated the hairdryer and iron being available. The staff helped me get around the city.

The area felt a bit noisy at night. I would have liked if there were better soundproofing in my room.
