I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were stylish with a gurgling water feature, offering good facilities, but the extra bed seemed a bit unnecessary. The service was rather hit or miss, with some staff being very attentive and hospitable, while others showed a lack of interest and terrible attitude. The location, nestled perfectly in the mountains, offered beautiful views but was somewhat secluded. The dining experience out on the rooftop was enjoyable, but the stewed partridge was not to my taste. The facilities were top-notch overall.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with a perfect location nestled in the mountains overlooking the city. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service was top-notch with great hospitality. The dining experience on the rooftop was exquisite, serving delicious handmade pasta. The facilities were modern and convenient. The only downside was the challenging steep climb to reach the hotel on the hills.
