Cons:

Este hotel ha cobrado un deposito de 68€ bajo el falso pretenso de volvernoslo a la salida, hace un mes.
A pesar de varios emails y llamadas no nos han devuelto el mismo. Hecho que pienso denunciar ante los autoridades pertinentes.

Z przyjemnością bym tu wrócił.
Pros:

Wszystko na najwyższym poziomie. Począwszy od zaangażowanej we wszystko obsługi po jakość i utrzymanie obiektu.
Piękny hotel w starym kolonialnym stylu to coś czego oczekiwałem. Dbałość o detale, stan utrzymania oraz atmosfera na najwyższym poziomie. Jeśli ktoś poszukuje klimatycznego miejsca w centrum miasta , w którym z przyjemnością spędzi się każdą minutę to ten hotel jest godny polecenia.
Stosunek jakości do ceny, rewelacyjny.

Cons:

Nie ma słabych punktów.

Interesting historic small hotel offering excellent service in a highly convenient location
Pros:

Small hotel in a historic building close enough to the centre of Georgetown historic distric but on a peaceful side street. Very easy to walk to tourist sites. Staff very helpful. Simple but excellent breakfast. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Being picky the bed was a little hard but having said that I slept well having walked for miles around the city. Fine for a short stay.
