really good breakfastcentral locationunpleasant smelllimited storage
The location is AMAZING, right in the city center, near EVERYTHING! Breakfast was really good. I especially liked the temperature control in the bedroom. Really good!
The bathroom had an unpleasant smell, I couldn't tell if it was from incense, oil, or cleaning products. I also noticed that there was little to no storage for clothes if you were staying longer than one night.

Really good Boutique Hotel Experience

colorful tilinglounge areahonesty bar
The room featured Mediterranean decor and was very clean. The bathroom included a spacious walk in shower and colorful tiling. I appreciated the lounge area that was near the bedrooms as it had a large nespresso machine that prepared a range of teas and coffees. The honesty bar was reasonably priced and stocked with a wide range of drinks and snacks.
I noticed a little street noise overnight.
