Reviews and Ratings
I had high hopes for this hotel based on the price, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The neighborhood and size of the bath were nice, but the poor service, low-quality furnishings, and issues with cleanliness were a letdown. Breakfast was unreasonably priced for what was offered, and I wouldn't consider returning.
My experience at the hotel was quite disappointing considering the high price paid. The service felt lackluster, and the furnishings were subpar and cheap-looking. However, I did appreciate the nice size of the bath and the pleasant surroundings of the neighborhood. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the over €300 price tag, and I don’t plan on returning.
I found the hotel to be quite overpriced for what it offered. While the surroundings were lovely and my suite had a nice terrace, the quality of service and amenities left much to be desired. The breakfast price was outrageous for the offerings, and the cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't choose to stay here again, especially for over 300 € per night.
