loose shower fixture staff noise
The room felt quite cramped , especially with luggage. The shower fixture was loose and sprayed water everywhere. Also , there was some disruptive noise late at night coming from what sounded like staff near the reception area , but hotel staff did not resolve that noise issue. I expected better soundproofing for the price I paid.

charmed by the hospitality!

warm welcome modern room helpful team
the team here is so helpful. i was greeted with a warm welcome and refreshments upon arrival. i was then shown to my lovely modern and spacious room (it even had smart tvs). the location is perfect for exploring the main sites.
the room i booked was smaller than i expected, i struggled to unpack my luggage and hang my clothes. the showerhead also needed replacement because it wasn't working, but the staff quickly resolved it.
