historic charm, modern comfort
green areas excellent comfort friendly staff convenient access
The hotel has many green areas inside. It reminded me of a green house. the rooms were very clean, and the beds provided excellent comfort. the staff demonstrated friendliness and pleasantness throughout my stay. public parking was available right in front of the hotel.
The lift moved slowly and accommodated a maximum of four people. This could be slightly inconvenient during peak times. i noticed this occasionally but it never really bothered me.
Service
9/10
The staff was consistently helpful and amiable . They assisted with directions and promptly addressed my inquiries. complimentary afternoon tea with coffee, tea and snacks, was a welcome addition. It was available each afternoon.
Location

Charming Stay in a Central Location
spacious room clean room friendly staff laundry service
The rooms were spacious and very clean. The shower had hot water with great pressure. Staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. I received complimentary laundry service of two kilograms per person (which was useful for my longer stay).
The breakfast buffet had limited options, but there are many great nearby eateries.

some issues noticed
lukewarm coffee wooden doors
I found a few things less than ideal . the noise from the street was quite disruptive at night since there are only wooden doors separating the room from the outside. i had to ask to change rooms after complaining about the constant traffic sounds. Ear plugs were the initial offering. The breakfast selection seemed extensive but lacked appeal. the coffee was lukewarm and lacked flavor though.
