Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at the hotel, enjoying the comfort of the rooms and the excellent service provided by the staff. The location is superb, offering a unique setting that overlooks the river. The dining experience was satisfactory, with delicious grilled meat options available. However, some aspects of the facilities fell short of expectations.
