Our romantic escape was made even better thanks to the friendly and helpful staff. We particularly liked the delicious breakfast and the cozy rooftop. the location of the hotel was also perfect for exploring the area and experiencing the nightlife. Plus, the ice cream provided on hot days was a nice touch.
Our room was not up to our standards. We had trouble with the locker and had to go down to reception to store our bags.
