I enjoyed my stay at this unique boutique hotel, which is small but filled with character. The rooftop area is a lovely spot to unwind at sunset. However, it could be quite noisy depending on the room location, and I found the ground floor room lacking in natural light due to no windows. Overall, it was a nice experience with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers a unique experience with beautifully decorated rooms and a lovely rooftop for sunset drinks. However, the ground-floor room lacked a window, and the noise levels from the hallway and bar area were a bit inconvenient at times. The staff was friendly and attentive, making for an overall nice stay, but I wish I had booked an upstairs suite for a quieter experience.

I fell in love with this boutique hotel! The unique rooms are absolutely stunning and provide a cozy atmosphere for a relaxing stay. The staff, especially Laura and Olivia, delivered outstanding service, making me feel special during my visit. However, the ground floor room was a bit cramped without a window, and I encountered some noise in the mornings from guests checking out. Overall, this hotel is a gem, and I can't wait to return!
