In itself it is a very nice hotel and we had a very spacious room. But having to climg 6 stairs every time was a drag, so be aware there is no elevator. Also, our AC made a rediculous amount of noise and there was hardly any option to control it.

There was construction going on, and so there were lots noses coming through the walls all the time- vibrantion, clanging, buzzing.... everything is very compact, and i wish there were more spaces in which to relax. Also, lighting was odd. I needed to do some work? And i couldn't find anywhere to get enough light when the weather kept me inside. It's beautiful, and the staff and food were excellent, but this are the areas for improvement
