a really good stay

gorgeous barfriendly servicecomplimentary pantry
i found the cocktail bar gorgeous. the service was friendly and the drinks were delicious. the location is a little outside the center. it makes it ideal, as everything remains easily walkable. i also appreciated the complimentary pantry, stocked with snacks and drinks.
The room could benefit from some drawers next to the wardrobe. It would save guests from living out of their suitcases.

Really good Stay at a True Gem

The complimentary pantry was wonderful. It was stocked with crisps, ice cream, and brownies. The decor is unique. I loved the violins adorning the staircase. Breakfast was really good, and the service was superb.
The room was a little too warm and stuffy, with no air conditioning and no ability to open the windows.
