Stunning Hotel

The hotel is a stunning building, that has been restored to the highest level. The rooms have mini-bars with complimentary soft drinks from local producers and there are four EV charging bays that are also free. My only gripe was that we couldn't get the air conditioning to work.

Nice but not for price… over rated reviews.

Nice room, however checking took too long as reception was really slow and made mistakes. Bed was too firm, uncomfortable night sleep leading to constant tossing and turning. Decor and room was well presented however price was too high for what it is was, wouldn’t stay again as I don’t believe it is worth the price tag. Standard luxury room with a price tag much higher than other place… but no extras included.
