The hotel has stunning architecture and spacious rooms, making for a beautiful stay. However, the strong floral scent in the lobby can be overwhelming, and service at the front desk lacked professionalism. Some amenities were also missing, which detracted from the overall experience.

The outdoor grounds offer beautiful areas to stroll around and snap photos, showcasing the impressive architecture of this historic building. Despite the lack of activity options onsite, the unique tours available allow guests to dive into the building's fascinating past.
Check-in wasn't smooth at all, with reports of room mix-ups concerning security. The restaurant's erratic hours left dining options limited, and the absence of basic room amenities like drinkable water made things a bit inconvenient. The shower leaked extensively, turning the bathroom floor into a mini pond, and navigating the layout felt confusing due to inadequate signage. While the building is beautiful, I wished there were more engaging entertainment options inside and better management handling reservations and facilities.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the clean and comfy Deluxe King Room and the fun bar with tasty small plates. The hotel offers a cozy lounge and a lovely garden area for unwinding after a day of exploring. The layout can be a bit confusing at times, but it didn’t bother us too much. 🌿

The welcoming ambiance is complemented by the attentive staff, who went out of their way to make our anniversary special, creating a memorable experience with thoughtful touches like rose petals and towel swans. The breakfast, although priced a bit high, featured fresh products that added to the overall positive dining experience. There’s ongoing work to enhance the historical buildings on the property, which is exciting to see, but some updates could be improved to avoid leaks and ensure structural integrity.
