"The staff, the rooms, the rooftop pool, the location are all what makes this an excellent place to stay. We had a room at the back of the hotel which allowed us to enjoy the lovely atmosphere of the courtyard that often had live music. You can walk to everything you need from this hotel but it is such a lovely place that you may not be in a rush to leave."

"It is not 5 star hotel. 4 stars Max. Nice hotel but limited with amenities.. we had to ask for toothbrushes twice and received none. Limited option to cosmetic kits (almost none). Hotel does not replenish supplies.. so if you used shower cap once, it will be gone next day and good luck having a replacement ( remember no toothbrushes, no extra shower cap… hold on to what you got). Hide them. Limited amount of towels as well- 2 only. My face towel for second night was gone as well, no replacement...
