Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel manages to combine modern elements while still feeling very comfortable. The breakfast restaurant was overcrowded, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers large and bright rooms overlooking the gardens, inviting for a comfortable stay, although it could feel somewhat small for a week-long visit. The ambiance was pleasant despite being overcrowded at times.
