I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The quirky design and unique room features were charming, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. However, my stay was marred by cleanliness issues in my room and a lack of attentiveness during breakfast service. Still, I found some aspects enjoyable, especially the vibrant atmosphere of the bar area.

I had a wonderful time at this quirky hotel, which was just a stone's throw from the shopping and bar district-perfect for exploring! My room was beautifully decorated and very clean, though I struggled a bit with the air conditioning not cooling down as I'd hoped. The breakfast was a highlight, and the Secret Garden had a lovely atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. Just be mindful of the noise, as the bar area got quite lively at night, which may not suit everyone.

The hotel has a charming and quirky atmosphere, with unique room features that add character to the stay. The staff provided excellent service, going out of their way to accommodate special requests.

I had a delightful experience at this quirky hotel with its fabulous location just a short stroll to the city center. The room was clean and had some unique touches, although the bed was smaller than I expected. Breakfast was a highlight with plenty of tasty options. Checking in was simple and hassle-free, but I did notice some quirks that might not suit everyone, particularly with the room layout. Overall, I would definitely return for another stay!
