"10/10 Hospitality, very welcoming team, delicious food and superb room. A special shout out to our butler Wasant who kindly gave us a tour of the hotel's farm and butterfly garden, and chef Salih for the amazing food. The location is excellent for the cultural triangle. Highly recommend this hotel. "
"Such a beautiful gem! The manager was incredibly attentive and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were cosy, and the food was absolutely amazing- one of the main reasons we chose this place, and it truly lived up to our expectations.
Just a small heads-up: the rooms didn’t come with toiletries, so make sure to bring your own.
Would definitely recommend! So glad we stayed here. "
