10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing hotel, in every respect. There is really nothing one can seriously criticize even if one tries hard. The room was amazing, very tasteful, the bed was comfy, it was quiet at night, the room service was impeccable, the in-room breakfast was an unreal treat. Go and experience this hotel, when you have a chance!"
