The hotel has a modern feel with an old-world charm, offering a double bed but a bit noisy being under the restaurant kitchen's ventilation. The service is top-notch, going the extra mile and welcoming, though a bit over the top. The location is superb, close to natural attractions but tricky to find parking initially. The dining experience is outstanding with unique local dishes, but service details may not be clear upfront.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The tiny room overlooking the exotic garden with thousands of botanical species was comfortable but below standard. The service was friendly and helpful, especially at the front desk, but some aspects were disappointing. The location was wonderful with access to magnificent botanical gardens and thermal pools, although not everything was perfect. The dining options were amazing, offering a variety of delicious dishes, making the hotel stand out. The facilities were decent but had some room for improvement.
