My stay at this hotel was just as I had hoped for. The room with a private terrace that I booked months in advance was exactly like the picture, offering a perfect view. Having a balcony and a kitchen added a nice touch to my experience. The value for money was excellent, especially considering the top-notch amenities provided. However, the only drawback was the lack of buttermilk biscuits at the dining facility.

The hotel is located in a lovely area and just nearby the market. The rooms are spacious, with a private terrace and a big bathroom but have a view of the inner yard. The service offers housekeeping and tours/ticket assistance but charges for airport shuttle. Despite these aspects, the dining experience, particularly for toasts, was average. Overall, it's a good value for money with a few downsides.
