Не понравилось
Cons:

Накрученные отзывы, так как за такие большие деньги ожидаешь +- хороший уровень проживания и питания, а получаешь ровно только большой минус. Завтраки никакие, мы не смогли поесть ровно ничего, тк еда самого простого уровня, выбора нет и невкусная. Приготовили для нас омлет, он был холодный, неприятный. Номер уже устарел и к тому же по углам пыль везде. Вечером была приятная живая музыка, это плюс. Очень жаль, что отель не оправдал ожидания с картинки.

Très bel hôtel
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel avec un personnel formidable et très attentionné.
Beau petit déjeuner et accueil très à l'écoute de vos besoins.

Cons:

Le bruit sur rue et le bruit des valises à roulettes très tôt le matin dans les couloirs empêchent vraiment de se reposer. Cela pourrait être corrigé par du double vitrage et un joli tapis étroit.

A truly beautiful and atmospheric property full of colonial charm and character. The design, courtya
Pros:

I honestly think the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful property at all. The whole colonial style of the hotel makes you feel like you are a heroine from a 1920s movie. Yes, the property was renovated quite a while ago, but somehow that does not spoil the atmosphere whatsoever — if anything, it adds even more charm and authenticity to the place.
We absolutely loved the rooms, the design, the restaurant and especially the courtyard. The entire property feels incredibly atmospheric and elegant. The staff was amazing throughout our stay, and the food was genuinely great as well.
If I had to mention anything that could be improved, I would say the pool area could use a little refresh, and the rooftop terrace was not really up to par with the rest of the hotel. However, honestly, we were not planning to use the rooftop anyway, so it was very easy to overlook considering how beautiful the overall experience was.

Cons:

Everything was amazing
