The hotel is perfectly situated, with a large private balcony that was so inviting. The service and housekeeping were excellent, yet the dining experience left a bit to be desired. The location is ideal for exploring, and the gardens provide a lovely gathering spot. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor downsides.
