I look forward to returning

10.0

Although the hotel building is old with a lot of interesting history,there is a feeling of generous space. The bedroom was attractively furnished , very clean and comfortable . Everything in the bathroom was easy to use. A lot of thought has gone into furnishing each part of the hotel. The breakfast was lovely.

Hôtel charmant mais pas adapté en cas de canicule

5.0

Le personnel était vraiment charmant et adorable.

Il faisait extrêmement chaud et il n’était pas possible d’ouvrir les fenêtres, impossible de dormir la température dans la chambre était insupportable. Il n’y a pas de climatisation dans l’hôtel mais des ventilateurs sont fournis.
