The property was very clean. The room was small but definitely accommodating since i was solo. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Lots of stairs but a very old world charm.
Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff.
Great location!

This hotel is excellent. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is in a great location and is spotlessly clean and serves a fab breakfast. We stayed in a suite which had 2 large beds and a big ensuite with large shower and freestanding bath, it felt very luxurious and we both slept very well. I would definitely stay here again
