We stayed in an apartment in an adjacent building. The decor was vibrant and colorful in a style perhaps reminiscent of the 1920's. It was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. The location was convenient, walkable to shops and restaurants. The buffet breakfast was okay, but not remarkable. The breakfast room got very noisy with the clatter of dishes when the employees started setting up the tables for the lunch service and clearing away breakfast items. This happened all three days we were there. This probably could have been done more quietly if the employees had sufficient training.

First off all that smell in a rooms ( we have 2 rooms for 2 nights), light in a bathroom wasn’t turned on, had to click on for a few times, can hear neighbors around you, bad insulation. Very disappointing stay. Sorry for that review, but can give more than 2 stars.

The staff was wonderful. The room was lovely and the the bed very comfortable. We had difficulty with the heating, but the desk person came and showed us how to use it. So all was better. The bathroom was quite large.the bar/restaurant had a fun vibe and the lobby of the hotel made me want to just sit and relax. It was quiet, we did not hear our neighbors. It was centrally located. Only problem was parking.

Lovely quaint property with great restaurant. Only minor downsides are no USB charging points in room and very limited on property parking, necessitating parking on street, which is a minor inconvenience

The property is 130 years old but well looked after although the floorboards do creak like Pais. Breakfast staff need more drive. We stayed 4 nights and every day you had to ask to have the milk, orange juice and coffee refilled and when the eggs and bacon ran out hey would come back with 2 eggs and a few rashes of bacon. I can understand if it was getting towards the end of breakfast but it was only 8 to 8.30.
