Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms felt very tiny, they were comfortable and quaint. The service was exceptionally helpful, although somewhat indifferent at times. The location was nice, with a perfumed jasmine entry, but the dining was not at the level expected. Overall, a decent stay with some noticeable flaws.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had a balcony overlooking the pool and grounds, although it wasn't the one I expected based on the booking confirmation. The terrace was lovely, but I believe it should be priced at $100 a night. The service was exceptional, contrary to some warnings I had heard, and provided peaceful shady spots to relax. The location was superb, just a 5-minute walk from the center but not too crowded, offering a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The dining options were diverse and delicious, with a notable selection of sweets, but the closing time at 10:30 PM seemed too early. Ultimately, it was a pleasant stay with minor drawbacks.
