Guests frequently compliment the spacious and well-equipped rooms, sometimes finding a welcome gift of wine and treats upon arrival. The rooftop terrace offers a gorgeous view, while the breakfast, often featuring a live harp performance, is considered superb; however, some guests have noted that the selection of cakes and croissants could be more extensive.

The staff was friendly and efficient .
The bathroom felt dated. I noticed some mildew in the shower (which was not ideal). I also thought 800€ a night should get more luxury.
