I recently stayed at this boutique hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from many attractions, and the staff was incredibly helpful during my stay. However, the family room I booked turned out to be quite small, without adequate storage for my belongings, which was a bit of a hassle. Overall, while the service and accessibility were positives, the room size could really use improvement.

The rooms were comfortable but had some issues with noise and safety. The service, unfortunately, didn’t meet expectations as it was mostly lacking. Overall, it offers good value but there's still room for improvement.
