    wonderful crew
    bar/lounge area

    Good place with its wi-fi, bar/lounge area, and 24-hour reception. On my first stay, the staff helped me choose a better taxi. The crew is wonderful. I’ll be back next year!

    Charming hotel, delightful dining experience, with a wonderfully furnished room that featured a silent bar fridge and air conditioning for a comfortable stay.

    Everything was first-rate.

    charming suite
    high-quality dining
    tasteful decor
    noisy air conditioner
    poor maintenance
    disappointing service

    The Royal Suite offered a unique charm with antique furnishings and a lovely bathroom featuring a spa bath. the hydronic heating didn’t work, leaving us with a noisy air conditioner. While the dining options were impressive, the lack of attention to details, like room maintenance and service, was disappointing.

    heritage property
    cramped room
    poor lighting

    glorious heritage property, exquisite architecture, traditional decor

    The room felt cramped despite being labeled as superior!!! A more spacious and well-lit option would have made my stay more enjoyable than lugging bags through the restaurant!!!

    charming hotel with room for improvement

    The hotel exudes a sense of history and elegance that's captivating. The staff were attentive and quick to assist us. The beds offered exceptional comfort, ensuring we got a good night's sleep. I appreciated the 24-hour reception, which provided convenience during our late arrival.

    The noise from the external air conditioning units outside our windows was disruptive at times.

    brief wait

    The elegant interiors reflect the hotel’s rich history, and the dining experience was memorable. The staff was exceptionally accommodating, ensuring every need was met.

    A brief wait at check-in detracted slightly from the overall experience.

    Charming stay in a classic spot

    The heritage vibe is just amazing! My room was nice and tidy, but a bit cramped. The staff were super friendly and made me feel at home. I loved the bar/lounge area, perfect for hanging out with fam. Only thing is, the check-in took longer than I’d hoped.

    really good service

    Family with children really enjoyed it

    Overall the stay was nice with lovely staff who were really accommodating. The breakfast was excellent and the smashed avocado was plated to perfection, just how we like it. They even brought up a beautiful bottle of wine to thank us for our patience when there was a small issue with the room, a lovely touch.

    It wasn't exactly wallet-friendly but acceptable for the quality and service we received.

    old-world charm
    friendly staff
    frustrating check-in

    Had a fantastic time with my friends. We loved exploring the old-world charm and hitting up nearby great spots like Hop Temple and Sip for delicious food and drinks. The staff was friendly, and the hotel ambiance took us back in time, making our stay memorable.

    We faced a frustrating check-in process that made getting settled a bit tedious.
