Wer auf den Charme alter Hotels steht, soll es versuchen
Pros:

Das Hotel besitzt einen gewissen Charme, bedingt durch das Alter. Das Personal war freundlich und das Frühstück (nicht inklusive) sehr gut.

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren recht klein, kaum Platz für Gepäck.
Dafür war der Preis recht hoch.

Ein herrlich altmodisches Hotel, ohne Aufzug und Swimmingpool, aber mit viel britischem Charme - und gutem WLAN.

Notre séjour dans cet établissement fut à la hauteur de nos attentes. Nous recommandons sans hésiter
Pros:

La chambre que nous avions était très grande et tranquille. Le lit king était vraiment confortable. La salle de bain privative était grande et propre.

Cons:

Des chaises de détente plus confortables dans la chambre auraient bien, mais ce n'était pas un irritant. Ce n'est qu'une suggestion.
