The rooms & bathrooms are a little old fashioned but I quite like that. It suits the building. For breakfast I would have liked to see more seasonal fruit like melon, nectarines, figs - otherwise it was pretty good.

The only reason for 4 stars is the building is not new, but I had a really lovely stay and the staff were very helpful. Everything felt luxury except for the price. I especially appreciated the outdoor bar/cafe and the bountiful complimentary breakfast.

A Downton Abbey experience!
The hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was professional, friendly, and hospitable. While a bit dated it is refreshingly elegant. Sometimes it seemed like a ‘ Downton Abbey experience. Breakfast was quite lovely. I would love to return to this hotel!
