I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, tucked away on a quiet side street yet close to major sights. The rooms are beautifully appointed with a lush green marble bathroom, French doors, and blackout shades for a perfect sleep. The service was exceptional, especially with a tired baby in tow. The dining experience was a culinary delight with a variety of fresh and rich options. The facilities were top-notch, and I couldn't have asked for more.

I stayed at the other building which was a bit dark and lacked furniture, and unfortunately, there was constant loud construction noise nearby. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel itself was lovely. The only issue was with restaurant guests being loud outside until early morning. On the bright side, I enjoyed having a relaxing bath after a day of sightseeing.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a cozy design and a large bathroom, though the entrance could be more inviting. The fabulous tub and great water pressure add to the room's appeal. The period pieces give the room a classic touch.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful mix of historical charm and modern comfort. The rooms exuded authenticity with their historic furniture, but noise made it challenging to get a good night's sleep. The separate building, while dark and isolated, offered a unique experience with minimal furniture.

The hotel offers a mix of comfort and historical charm with spacious rooms, though they may be smaller than expected. The service is attentive and goes out of their way to assist, even if there are occasional misunderstandings.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully authentic, adorned with historic furniture, and the large walk-in shower was a luxurious touch. The stylish decor, extra comfy bed, and fantastic reception staff made my experience memorable.
