An absolutely wonderful hotel, very charming and stately. We felt welcomed and respected by staff, special mention to reception staff and to the breakfast team. Room was beautiful, with lots of toiletries and drinking facilities. Bed was comfortable. As we were on the fourth floor the room was quite hot when we checked in, but the portable aircon and fan provided helped to keep us cool (and almost cold!) throughout the night. Breakfast was absolutely delicious with a small selection but of high quality, which we prefer. We'd love to be back!

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. The area is very quiet except birds sounds which I like. However the rate is expensive. The restaurant has limited food items and expensive. Better if added more dishes from Asia and the Mediterranean countries
