What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Unique Room Charm

I stayed in the Princess Salame room, and it was exactly as shown on their website. The unique decor and dim stained glass windows added an atmospheric touch to my experience. The four-poster bed and quirky design made my stay nice.

Rooftop Breakfast Delight

Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight of my stay. With an amazing 365-degree view of the city, I enjoyed a good spread of eggs, yogurt, fruit, and pastries. It was a fantastic way to start my day!

Spacious and Unique Bathrooms

The bathroom in my Spice House room was impressively spacious. It had a separate sitting area and the shower worked well. Although the lighting was a bit dim, it contributed to the unique ambiance of the historic hotel.

Comfortable Bed Experience

The bed in my room was incredibly comfortable. I loved the mosquito netting, which added a romantic touch. Even though the bed felt firm, I had a restful night's sleep during my three-night stay at this charming hotel.
