Pros:

De authenticiteit en de inrichting, echt zoals het vroeger was. Ze gingen uit hun weg om je welkom te voelen en zeer gedienstig. Mijn GF ontbijt werd op voorhand besproken en aangepast naar wens. Mix van westers, oosters, zoet en hartig. Aanrader als je niet graag de mainstream doet.

I would recommend this place to any history lover, it is really special and very unique. Staff were lovely too.
Pros:

Beautiful building, lovingly maintained. So much history here and a bargain at the price.

Cons:

Some things don’t work perfectly or are a little tired but this is to be expected in an older property.

Très bel hôtel, personnel super. Assurez-vous d'avoir une chambre à l'étage, sinon ce sera désagréable s'il
Pros:

Bien situé dans Little India, près de tout. Hôtel avec beaucoup de charme.

Cons:

Insonorisation questionnable. Chambre sans fenêtre donnant sur l'extérieur.

Pros:

Su ubicación y todos los detalles que tienen dentro de las habitaciones . El personal es super atento y amable, están por todo….el desayuno abundante y bueno (nos tocó desayuno chino con dimsun).

Cons:

La habitación que nos tocó (cinamon) por cuestiones de la humedad, se estaba saltando la pintura y el yeso de las paredes y con los ventiladores….llenando de un polvo fino que acababa ensuciando las cosas….

Pros:

Charme de la maison historique très bien située avec un côté intimiste, des petites attentions appréciables et l’amabilité du personnel

Cons:

De par l’architecture de cette maison, pas d’isolation phonique avec les chambres du dessus et l’absence totale de lumière naturelle dans notre chambre du rez de chaussée. Des petits déjeuners qui pourraient être plus copieux et l’absence de produits de confort dans la salle de bains

Immer wieder gerne
Pros:

Eigentlich alles, aber…

Cons:

Wi-Fi ist nicht überall verfügbar, es gibt blind spots.

Nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil, aber das Frühstücks-Konzept ist ungewohnt: Es wird ein Menu frisch und sehr gut zubereitet (z.B. Continental oder eine Nudelsuppe oder French) - ein Buffet gibt es aber nicht. Wem das Menu nicht passt, muss hungern.

Die Wassermenge in der Dusche ist eher knapp bemessen.
