Charming Hotel Experience

larger roomwarm welcomeexcellent foodwellness activity
I received an upgrade to a large room and enjoyed a welcome drink. The hotel arranged a taxi to and from the airport which was helpful. I found the food to be excellent and staff were friendly. I liked the wellness activities especially yoga and sound baths.
The gym is basic and outside. It doesn't match the quality of other facilities.
