I had a lovely stay at Carmelite Hotel; BW Signature Collection, especially during a girly night with my daughter. The suite was spacious, clean, and had some charming touches that made us feel special. We did experience some noise at night due to the nearby bars, which made it a bit hard to sleep. Overall, though, I can confidently say it was a nice experience, and I'm looking forward to coming back.

I had high expectations for my stay, especially since it was a special occasion, but unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. While the hotel had charm and a great location, the cleanliness of the room was well below standard. However, some amenities like the spacious suite I saw on another review seemed promising, so maybe it varies by room.
