friendly staff superb hospitality private terrace cheerful team
the staff was awesome and cute right from the start. the hospitality from reception to housekeeping was superb. the breakfast team made mornings cheerful. our room was a maisonette with direct access to the roof terrace, it had lots of privacy and views.
the rooms are a bit small, and there is no gym or pool. these things are expected for the price.
