I absolutely loved staying at this old villa hotel. The rooms were spacious and charming, but they did have a faint smokey smell that reminded me of a bygone era. The hotel is a great value for the price, considering the unique ambiance.

The hotel had all the necessary appliances in the room, but cleanliness was a major issue as the kitchen was covered in grease and dishes were dirty. The location was fine, away from the main attractions, and the front apartment faced The Terrace. Although the facilities were satisfactory, the kitchen area was quite a standout.

The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. On the positive side, the rooms were well-equipped with all appliances needed despite looking a bit old. On the downside, the furniture seemed outdated, the kitchen area was greasy, and the dishes were dirty. Also, the room's visibility from the car park could be a privacy concern.

I stayed at this hotel in a front apartment facing The Terrace and found it great for walking around with easy access to city trails. The location is close to the main shopping area and city center. The rooms were spacious with a nice bathroom and wardrobe area, but unfortunately not serviced and the kitchen needed cleaning. The hotel had a good service offering including room service, grocery shopping service, laundry, and paid airport shuttle.

The hotel provided a quiet and practical stay. The rooms were good and had all the necessary facilities for the bride and bridesmaids to prepare, but attention was needed to block out light from the car park. The service was efficient and convenient; however, it may not have been ideal for those looking for a fully luxurious experience. The location was fantastic for exploring the city on foot, despite not matching the advertised address perfectly. The dining experience, although serving delicious baby back ribs, could have offered a more extensive menu. Overall, the facilities were modern and satisfactory, although slightly lacking in extra amenities.
