I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the location was charmingly tranquil, perfect for escaping the city hustle. However, the rooms were quite small, and I found the beds a bit hard, which made my stay less comfortable than I hoped. Overall, I would say it offers decent value for money, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, but I first got a small, run-down one despite the high price. The service was great, with very cooperative staff who were attentive to my needs. The location is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature, which I loved. However, for the price, I expected a bit more in terms of room quality.

The hotel is situated up on the 4th floor, giving me a stunning view of the city, which I absolutely loved!
