My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall, with very friendly staff and amazing food that turned my trip into a delight. The attention to detail regarding dietary needs was exceptional, and it made my meals enjoyable. However, the internet connectivity could have been better, and the elevator situation was a bit inconvenient, given the limited capacity.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was perfect, right next to the market place and close to many attractions, making it easy to explore.

Overall, a charming place with wonderful dining but a few minor issues that could be addressed.
