    garden vibe
    parking hassle

    Charming and cozy stay!

    This place was super cute and felt safe, which was nice. The garden vibe of the outdoor dining area made it pretty relaxing! Just a heads up, parking is a hassle and you gotta pay to park, which is kinda annoying.

    welcoming staff
    garden dining
    disruptive noise

    We had a lovely stay with our small child at this hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The garden dining area was a fantastic place to enjoy breakfast, surrounded by beautiful plants.

    In my wife’s opinion, the noise from other guests was disruptive. Better soundproofing would make the experience more comfortable for families.

    convenient location
    friendly owner
    outdated room decor

    great location but room could use some updates

    The hotel’s location near the airport made our late-night arrival stress-free. The owner offered us great suggestions for our day, which enhanced our overall experience. We even enjoyed a lovely stroll to the nearby cathedral for Good Friday Services, which was a memorable highlight of our trip.

    The room decor felt a bit outdated compared to the overall vibe of the place.
