Le personnel était vraiment incroyable et nous a guidé avec beaucoup de gentillesse tout le long du séjour. L'hôtel est très bien décoré.

Cons:

C'est du détail mais peut être quelques accessoires à rajouter (boîte à mouchoirs, porte savon, poubelle de chambre, livret/stylo).

Pros:

Great ambiance, excellent gourmet breakfast. Small but comfortable room. The restaurant serves memorable food and wine. We had a surprise menu with a matching wine arrangement and the service was excellent. Fully living up to the Michelin star, it was a great experience.

Cons:

The bathroom was in dire need of an overhaul. Much of the kitting needs to be redone, the showerhead replaced and overall, stuff needs to be redone due to moisture.
