The building features interesting details inside and out. It makes a great setting for a hotel. i found the spa nicer than expected with plenty of spaces and treatments. It offered a relaxing experience. i appreciated the spa access for my entire stay. the room was spacious, well-decorated, and had a comfy bed (i slept very well).
The water supply in the room experienced issues. The communication regarding this was poor. a small sign at reception mentioned disruption to the water supply, i think they need to communicate better.

The spa's facilities were excellent. I also found the breakfast had a comprehensive selection of quality products. The building impressed me with its marble features. Our room was well-appointed and spotlessly clean, and the bed provided much comfort.
The room seemed smaller than what was indicated on the website. I did find some dark hairs in the shower and on the bathroom floor.
