understated elegance shines

room safe air conditioning quick checkout
the hotel lobby lacked a proper lounge, just a couple of chairs near the front desk. my superior double room included a safe and air conditioning. complimentary water and cookies were a lovely touch, i saw it on arrival to the room. breakfast was really good, and checkout was quick.
the bathroom lacked an outlet for the hairdryer, i think this is inconvinient. i had to dry my hair in the room instead, and it felt awkward.

adequate stay at the hotel

attentive staff friendly staff excellent service no bar access ac failure uncomfortable room
the staff were attentive and friendly. i found the service to be excellent. the hotel and rooms have a real character and charm.. it was a nice experience.
i found that staying at the hotel does not give you access to the bar. you just have to wait like all the other tourists so i did not even try. i had a very nice room which was comfortable the first night but the a/c failed.
