Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel feels like stepping into another period with its elegant and spacious rooms, but the location near industrial areas brings noise concerns. The service was pleasant, and the dining experience offered value but lacked variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel offers well-furnished rooms that match its age and prestige, though they could benefit from better airing to remove musty smells. The service is consistently friendly and helpful, making the stay pleasant. However, the location next to an industrial area can be noisy at times.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room was gorgeous, furnished with an antique style that exuded elegance. The breakfast was way beyond my expectations and very convenient. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, even reducing costs when breakfast couldn't be provided. The location, although somewhat noisy due to the nearby train track, was well soundproofed. The dining experience was limited but sufficient with fresh selections. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
