Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful garden setting was a plus, but the lack of daily vacuuming in the rooms and the small, old-fashioned room with its creaky bed and limited space were drawbacks. Overall, it offered a cozy atmosphere with historical charm, but there were some areas that needed improvement.
This hotel is in an amazing location, walking distance from various places. The rooms, although small, are cute, comfortable, and clean. The staff were very friendly and accessible, making the service excellent. The dining experience offered fantastic food quality but at high prices. Overall, a cozy spot in the best location with some dining drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with some nice views out the windows, but unfortunately, they were in need of a refresh, especially room 302. The small size of the room was manageable, but a small shelf for essentials like keys and sunglasses would have been helpful.
