Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were a bit small, but the location was fantastic, right at the edge of the Funk Zone with plenty of wine tasting rooms around. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was amazing. However, the price was a bit steep for the room size.
The hotel is conveniently located at the edge of the Funk Zone, surrounded by numerous wine tasting rooms. The rooms are cozy but compact. The service goes above and beyond but lacks smiles at times. The location feels luxurious without the high cost and is close to the beach and train station. Dining options are available nearby, including a Mexican cafe. The facilities are well-equipped.
The hotel offers elegant and comfortable rooms, albeit on the small side, with a lively patio nearby. It's more suited for sleeping than spending time in. Service is a mix of excellence in modern rooms and a convenient beach location, but occasional disinterest in some areas. The location is good but can be disrupted by morning train noise. The dining experience is hearty but may lack variety. Overall, a decent value for money stay with some room for improvement.
