My stay at the hotel was quite a mix. While the rooftop terrace had lovely views and the food was enjoyable, the room conditions left a lot to be desired. The absence of proper spa treatments was also disappointing. Overall, I felt there was potential, but the lack of maintenance and attention to detail really impacted the experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. While the historical charm of the building and the location were appealing, the overall experience was marred by the unacceptable condition of the rooms and food safety issues at breakfast. The staff did try to accommodate us after some complaints, but it didn't make up for the various shortcomings we encountered during our stay.

My stay was quite disappointing overall. The hotel had a charming exterior but fell short in many aspects inside. The room wasn't clean, with visible grime and unpleasant conditions that were hard to overlook. The staff didn't offer the level of service I would expect, leaving me frustrated. It wasn't worth the price I paid, and I certainly wouldn't consider returning.
