Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pleasant staff, but the courtyard bedroom was small and the bathroom cramped to say the least. Considering most visitors were in transit and had a lot of luggage there wasn’t any room to spread out. ‘Glamorous breakfast’ was a stretch! Coffee, juice and eggs were good but in a country that prides itself on fresh produce why was the fruit tinned?

Great location
Bijou courtyard rooms, we knew that when we did our research. It wasn’t a problem, you just need to be organised! We had one breakfast which we feel was limited. Continental with eggs. It was boiled or boiled eggs. Mine were cold and hard boiled. No meats or continental cheeses. The courtyard area is very pleasant and we enjoyed a drink in the sun on both days we were there. Overall a good stay, excellent location, friendly staff but a breakfast that needs improving.

Super cute property. The room, especially the bathroom was very small, and could use some blackout curtains for the long summer days and early sunrise. Great staff and wine bar.

It was a cute but tiny room for the price. I found a dirty tissue under my pillow which wasn’t mine so I felt pretty uncomfortable about the cleanliness of the room
