Lovely hotel, comfy bed and great staff. Only issue is the noise which will not be great if you are a light sleeper To be expected of an old building, but in our room in particular, traffic noise, mechanical noise (fan chillers on the roof maybe??) and water pipe noise were persInstant through the night. Can’t stress enough that we loved this hotel, but it is worth considering.
