“I stayed in a beautifully appointed room with a unique mix of modern and historical décor.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The rooms were clean and truly comfortable, and I loved the cozy beds. However, the dining experience left a little to be desired as breakfast options were somewhat limited. The location was decent, being close to public transport and a popular restaurant, but it could be noisy at night due to the restaurant vibe, which may not be ideal for early sleepers.
