friendly welcome quirky room key beautiful garden
i found a friendly welcome upon arrival the room key was quirky the walk to my section of the hotel showcased a beautiful garden the chic style was apparent in the fabrics and furniture. the bathroom was glorious books were available everywhere i only wished i could have stayed longer. the breakfast was divine.
my allocated room was situated right next to the working kitchen the main hallway and restaurant it was noisy and exposed i heard everything and got minimal sleep soundproofing on the walls facing the kitchen would improve this.

The breakfast was definitely a highlight. The shakshuka WAS unreal and a great start to each day. All staff were friendly and helpful .
The hotel IS at the top of a very steep hill. Ubers complained a little about the location and the access was not always straightforward. There are also limited activities directly around the hotel, so transport is needed.
