The hotel is a gem for delicious food and exceptional service. The rooms may need a touch-up but were cozy and the staff was amazing. However, the dining options could be more diverse and the lack of a proper breakfast was a letdown. Great for its location near shops, bars, and cafes, with easy access to the city via a nearby bus stop.
