i found the breakfast delicious. they had so many options, i was really impressed by the variety. the gardens created a space so peaceful. it was easy to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
our room was located in the annex. there seemed road noise at night and other guests were a bit loud because of the many rooms cramped together. the hotel gave one water bottle on arrival, but then nothing for the other nights we were there. the room could have used a bit more attention to noise insulation.
