My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. The location was decent, although steep and not very accessible, and while the food was generally good, it often felt repetitive. The staff were genuinely nice and went out of their way to help, which I appreciated. However, the room situation was far from ideal, as the annex building felt more like a budget option than a 4-star experience. Overall, it had its moments, but certainly room for improvement.

The friendly and attentive staff truly enhanced our visit, making us feel valued and cared for.
