Uppfyllde förväntningarna i att ha en plats att duscha och sova för en natt.
Pros:

Trevlig personal och den historiska känsla av byggnaden och rummet.

Cons:

Sängen kändes lite för känslig och svajig.

Loved it!
Pros:

Lovely, vibey accomodation. Staff were wonderful and fun and friendly. Room was comfortable and spacious. Once we figured out the hot water switch (super simple we just hadn’t seen it before!) the shower pressure was great. Food EXCELLENT- definitely get dinner here!

Cons:

As to be expected in an older building; it is all stairs. Not an issue but definitely something to take into account if you have mobility issues.

Prezzo esagerato per quello che ti viene dato
Pros:

Niente

Cons:

Esterni trascurati, camera non funzionale, bagno micro dentro alla porta armadio. Non so dove finisca il bohemian ed inizi il caos.

Wouldn’t go back or recommend. Needs a major overhaul. 3 star max
Pros:

Didn’t have breakfast

Cons:

The outside photo isn’t a true photo of the hotel- it desperately needs an overhaul. From the front door it’s dirty and spider webs everywhere. The rooms are dated with spider webs in each corner. Then while having a shower someone knocked on the door to say there was water running in downstairs and asked what we were upto
