This property is in a stunning location. The view from my room is amazing. The only thing I would say is the room is a little snug so much so that you can’t even open the main door to the room fully. You definitely pay for the views here. That said the staff were very friendly and our room was clean. Lovely location. Would definitely recommend. The size of the room is the only reason this hotel doesn’t get a 5 star review.
