Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers great views despite a disgusting bathroom in the bedroom, but the lack of cleanliness and towel replacement was off-putting. The receptionists, dealing with parking issues, provided excellent service, and the welcome drink added a nice touch.
The hotel's location at the top of the hill offers breathtaking views, but the bathroom in my bedroom was quite off-putting as it wasn't clean and the towels weren't replaced. The receptionists, who have to deal with parking issues, were excellent, but the entertainment facilities seemed lacking. The dining experience with home-made pastries was delightful, adding to the overall charm of the place.
