Not a bad stay overall, but wouldn’t go back!
Pros:

The hotel has lots of character, breakfast was good, bed was comfy!

Cons:

In need of TLC in a lot of areas, lots scuffs and marks on the walls. Overpriced for the quality of the room. No air conditioning or even a fan.

Great location and beautiful historic building. The food was 10/10, we had breakfast and evening meal. The staff were fantastic and very welcoming.

Cons:

We liked everything, but if I had to say something, it would be the rooms are a bit dated, but I am nitpicking here.

Not worth the money & very noisy
Pros:

Steeped in history and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

We stayed in suit no 12. It needs updating, noise level was high, from above and also the corridor, banging doors. The bed was very uncomfortable. The shower leaked and was uneven to stand in.
Not worth the money in our option.
