“I really enjoyed the tasty breakfast and the fantastic view during my stay. However, I did run into some problems with the service and the room wasn't up to par.”

6.6Verified guest

“The breakfast here was delicious and the location was first-rate, with a beautiful view. They also have a great rooftop terrace and a jacuzzi, which is perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The only letdown was the slow Wi-Fi, but that was minor given all the other great features this place offers.”
