Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely hotel with old style decorations. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is great and the staff organise great tours and other extras like massage.. Very hassle free and easy!
Negative: The atmosphere could be improved, maybe some music especially in the dining room, staff to greet and seat people. The Rooftop needs more seating, seemed more like a storage area than a rooftop when we went there.
