Spacious Family Room
The Shore room for two beds was incredibly spacious and perfect for my family! We loved the amazing amenities like the coffee machine and the big projector with Netflix movies. It truly made our stay enjoyable and comfortable.

Amazing Room Ambiance
I was truly amazed by the Twilight room's interior design. The thoughtful lighting created a soothing and romantic atmosphere. Plus, using the projector for our entertainment made the experience even better! This room is perfect for photoshoots as well.

Well-Designed Bathroom
I loved the bathroom setup, especially the double sinks outside which were super convenient for sharing. The rain shower head was fantastic, and I appreciated the skin-friendly shower gel and shampoos. It provided a spa-like experience right in the hotel.

Comfy and Stylish
The bedroom was spacious, well-decorated, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The little details, like the light switch beside the bed and the premium bathrobe, made the experience more enjoyable. I had a great night's sleep here!

I had a lovely stay at this boutique hotel. The clean and comfortable rooms offered a fantastic view of the city, making my mornings quite pleasant. The service was remarkably prompt and helpful, which I truly appreciated. On the downside, the location felt a bit commercial and grungy, which might not suit everyone's taste. Overall, though, the experience was good for the price I paid.

I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel. The rooms were beautifully designed and well-appointed, offering a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The service was polite and helpful, though I noticed the reception isn't open 24 hours, which could be a bit inconvenient. The location is decent but somewhat far from the main attractions, and while they communicate effectively via WhatsApp, it still felt a bit isolated. Overall, it offers good value for the price.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which really shines in providing a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The spacious rooms made me feel at home, and the overall aesthetic of the boutique style was very appealing. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as breakfast options were somewhat limited. Additionally, while the hotel has great amenities, the Wi-Fi isn't included, which was a bit of a letdown.

I recently stayed at this boutique hotel and overall, it was a decent experience. The rooms were exactly as shown on the website – beautiful and modern. The staff was quite helpful, moving us to another room when needed. However, the area around the hotel felt a bit grungy, and the dining options left much to be desired. Still, the price was reasonable for what we got.

This hotel has a unique boutique charm with clean and stylish rooms that match the photos perfectly. The service was courteous, although I noticed the reception isn’t open 24 hours, which could be a drawback for some. The location is quite commercial, which might not be everyone's taste, but I found it reasonably convenient. Overall, for the price, I felt it offered solid value, even if there are some areas that could use improvement.
