“This accommodation seems to inspire sharply divided opinions. While some guests report spacious and comfortable rooms alongside commendable hospitality, others cite concerns about shared spaces and cleanliness. It's a property that appears to deliver a penthouse feel for some, while leaving others wishing they'd stayed elsewhere.”
