En suite floods a little as no shower door. When we told them. They moved us to an upper floor room at the front. Amazing room and views. They also put out a light breakfast. Which was a welcome surprise. Great location too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22618cd3-1ac4-4be1-a35a-271d3827555b-1752950258715.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### simon Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tristen Sep 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Raffaella at the reception was one of the most wonderful people we have met on our entire trip.

The room was nice and clean. However the property was in the middle of the building. It was somewhat hard to find the room. The elevator looked ancient and scary.
