Would never book again.
Pros:

The decor is very sumptuous and decadent

Cons:

Lightning is a little too subdued
The bedroom was small, the bathroom was the same size.
No shelving in the bathroom at all. I had to put my toiletries on the floor. Bedroom the same, no room to put anything!
Good job it was just me as just not enough room.
