8.2/10 Very Good! (767 reviews)
The facilities were clean but it’s outdated. The furniture in my room were worn and need replacing. The walls had marks on them in some areas too. It’s not a bad option but I feel it’s overpriced for the condition of the furniture

This is a real gem! Fantastic boutique hotel with beautiful rooms that roomy and quiet. All the amenities you could ever need. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. You really need to stay more than one night to get to see what it has to offer.
