I was delighted with my stay at this hotel! The 'extra special room' I stayed in was incredibly spacious and felt so homely. The bed was super comfy, and the private terrace was a lovely touch. Plus, having a Nespresso machine in the room made my mornings even better. The small details like cookies and milk on arrival really made it an extra special experience. On the downside, the price may be a bit high for some travelers.
