My stay at the hotel was overall quite enjoyable, thanks to the stunning views and impeccable service. The rooms were bright and cosy, adding to the comfort of my visit. However, the dining experience was somewhat average, and ongoing construction in the area did detract from the tranquility. If noise bothers you, it might be wise to wait until the renovations are complete before booking your stay.
