TL;DR: Nice premises, but hardly restful
First, the Pros:
- the staff were polite, and helpful. Housekeeping was on point
- The hotel premises were clean, and the interior design was chic
- It's a hotel with a long and rich history, and staying there gives that special vibe of immersing oneself in the past
Now, the Cons
- The hotel itself is divided into 2 locations about 6-8min apart (if you walk slowly), and are separated by a very steep and uneven climb (think that slope was about 45 degrees). The height of the 3rd/4th floor of the main building is at the height 1st floor of the accessory building. If you have knee/hip problems, heart problems, or have poor physical conditioning, you will definitely find this a challenge.
- Because it's an older building, noises transmit across it incessantly (despite the rooms listed as "soundproof"). I stayed on the 3rd floor of the accessory building, with the bar on the 4th floor. The music, and noise (especially from dragging chairs!) didn't wane till after midnight. And my neighbours on the 2nd floor woke early. When combined, my rest at night wasn't restful at all, despite wearing earplugs.
