2/10 Poor

Worst stay ever

Worst stay ever - air con not working at 40 degrees ! The internet did not work the whole time we were there. Ate in the restaurant and one meal inedible and having a drink before dinner the chef had several shots !!! Reported to manager - end result full refund. Lift not working and the comp breakfast we were offered was withdrawn in the middle of the restaurant and we had to go to reception to sort out - Avoid avoid avoid is all I can say !!!

A unique, a bit quirky and special experience. Lovely place and great staff.
Darwin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ideal holiday location for those interested in History, walking or just relaxing in a quiet yet vibrant atmosphere. Modern Hotel set in an old tastefully restored building. Friendly and efficient staff complement the setting.
Jose, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The building is excellent. The stay not great. I don't recommend an interior rooms as the temperature was out of our control(hot and stuffy). They kindly gave us a new room when asked. A 4 star rating is to high...ex. paper cups, no chairs on the terrace. Even with a language barrier, the staff could be more friendly.
