A Trip Back in Time.
Pros:

Hotel is beautiful. Takes you back in time with the antiquity of furniture & style. Room was quite comfortable and roomy. Quiet, I didn't hear anyone come or go. Great water pressure.

Cons:

I couldn't stay longer.

Great stay in a carriage room
Pros:

Loved this hotel so much we stayed an extra day. Great pool, lovely restaurant, we stayed in a train carriage room which was surprisingly spacious and very nicely fitted out. Great location for lots of bars & restaurants and the free buses that run around the city have a stop by the hotel too.

Cons:

All great.

Pros:

Excellent location. Love staying in a train with my dog, not worrying about noise from others or if my dog will react to that noise.
