I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms had huge windows overlooking the park, offering a lovely view. The service was top-notch, with very professional and service-minded staff catering to every need. The location was superb, situated in a nice Victorian neighborhood and close enough to walk to most attractions. The dining experience was exquisite, especially with the added touch of champagne. The facilities were impressive, making my stay truly enjoyable.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms had a great shower and a lovely view of the park, making my mornings so refreshing. The service was top-notch, from the chatty bar staff to the very professional receptionists. The location, although a bit further out of the city center than expected, was in a nice neighborhood with a beautiful park nearby. The dining experience was delightful with included champagne and delicious smoked fish. The facilities were fantastic, especially the park view. One downside was the price being a bit high for some amenities, but overall, it was worth every penny.
