The hotel transports you back in time with its classic charm and well-functioning amenities, although some room features show signs of age. The attentive maid service adds a comforting touch, balancing out the dated feel. The friendly and professional service makes up for minor inconveniences like additional charges for airport transfers.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms that kids would love, however, the air-con thermostat malfunctioned and some toiletries were missing. The service was attentive, particularly the young staff, and the location was strategic being close to the city center and within walking distance to key attractions. The dining experience had potential for improvement but was satisfactory for a family. Overall, a decent choice with some room for enhancements.
