Expensive stay
Pros:

The location was great and the staff were very helpful. It is a beautiful building and the facilities available were decent.

Cons:

The design of the room was strange. The shower cubicle is entirely transparent making it awkward even with the curtains. Breakfast was just okay and the room service was very ordinary. Finding the lift to the pool was quite a task.

Delighted with the service and location
Pros:

I stayed in a loft suite it was nice and roomy and the AC worked perfectly. It came with lots of little extras. The staff was the highlight of my stay. The hotel is about 2 blocks from the green mansion and plenty of good little cafes around the corner. Also a lot of the street art is nearby. The pool is under construction for the month of April but they made me aware multiple times before I paid. Also this hotel doesn’t have a view but I also wasn’t looking for one and they don’t make any claims they can’t back up. It’s reasonably priced, very clean and nice beds and rooms. Very happy about staying here
