Pros:

Amazing location. Very clean. Beds were comfortable. The staff were lovely.

Cons:

The continental breakfast included was quite poor. We payed for the hot food instead which was very overpriced and not great. Also the price for the room was quite a lot for what you get.

C’était très agréable, personnel très sympathique, jolie décoration et très confort.
Pros:

La décoration d’époque, le personnel, le confort.

Cons:

Un peu déçu par le petit déjeuné, peu de choix et pas de traditionnel english breakfast. Pour ce prix, une télé dans la chambre aurait été apprécié.

One of the most stylish and beautifully presented hotels in a fantastic location.
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully presented inside and out. The hotel has fantastic amenities onsite including bar and restaurant; and quality of both are exceptionally good. Staff are welcoming, warm and friendly. The hotel is in a fantastic location and is unparalleled for exploring the old town within minutes.

Cons:

I cannot fault the hotel. If I had to pick one thing; the continental breakfast included within the price is a great asset, however, if I were to nitpick, I would have liked a cooked breakfast included, opposed to a surcharge.
