Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Area lacks glamour — The immediate surroundings include closed shops and residential buildings, so it's not a picturesque or lively neighbourhood.
  • Style over practicality — Some guests felt the hotel's romantic, old-fashioned character comes at the expense of modern practicality.
  • Mixed staff warmth — While generally helpful, one guest found staff efficient but not overly friendly.
  • Inconsistent experiences possible — A few guests gave lower ratings despite praising location and breakfast, suggesting occasional variability in room quality or service.
