The cafe athenee had a cozy atmosphere. The staff were cute, and i felt taken care of. The cappuccino was the best (especially the foam).
On arrival, my room did not have the balcony i expected. The front desk could not provide a suitable alternative immediately. Eventually, i got a smaller room with a tiny, unclean balcony.
