Stylish Hotel With Character

stylish design quiet location excellent breakfast local amenities

The building has beautiful architecture with history displayed in its art. The room had everything I needed for my short stay. My room faced the garden, so it was very quiet. The hotel is close to many restaurants! The location was excellent and near several local amenities.

The breakfast area was too small, and no small tables were set up for solo diners. I had to wait for certain items to be refilled at the breakfast buffet though the staff were very friendly.

tasty options breakfast buffet helpful staff missing shower door awkward tv missing bathroom hooks

The breakfast buffet was AMAZING!!! It had healthy and tasty warm options. The breakfast room itself was fine. I had a leisurely start to the day there. The architecture had a beautiful vibe. The staff was very helpful.

There was no shower door with the bathtub. Water went everywhere!!! There was no place to hang anything in the bathroom. The TV position was beside the bed and not at the end of the bed. It was difficult to watch TV from the bed.

adequate stay in a renovated building

convenient location good breakfast interesting architecture absent wifi small space non-functional equipment

the location of the hotel was convenient for accessing public transportation. the breakfast offered a good selection (i especially liked the fresh bread). the architecture of the building was interesting, retaining elements of its original design.

my room had no wifi signal, inconvenient (especially since i needed to work). the space around the bed was quite small. some of the equipment in my room was not functioning properly. the shower head was fixed to the wall, so i could not rinse down easily afterward.
