I love to travel and find the cute hotels and pictures if this hotel on all websites do make it look magical. One photo that is very deceiving on this website is the second photo of a steamy nice pool that overlooks the city. Instead of labeling this picture not at the hotel but at a paid bathhouse down the road it looks like it’s part of the hotel- one of the main attractions of the hotel when it’s not. The rooms are okay. They are very small- I was a solo traveler and I can’t imagine how two people would be in this room comfortably. The bathroom was nice however slightly dirty and some mildew in the corners of the shower with very little airflow as after a 5 minute hot shower the room was still foggy after two hours of me coming back into room. No fan. The view was overlooking a construction site and even without the construction it would be a not nice courtyard. The main thing that really put me off was that the WiFi didn’t work, causing me to use almost all my international data just to get around and therefor the tv didn’t work for anything but local stations even tho it says you can connect with your phone, when asking at the front desk the woman said sorry our WiFi signal is too week to accommodate- so why have the QR code and say you can steam tv? Why not have better WiFi? Its a giant hotel surely they can sort it out, especially when someone is paying over $350 a night for a room. Overall I wish I stayed somewhere else - it was close to the town but everything is
Decent bed. It not cozy sheets

Beautiful period hotel
Our second stay here. Beautiful period hotel, lovely lounge area with separate bar area. Superb decor in keeping with its Georgian heritage. Each bedroom is individually decorated. We loved the way there is information referring to original occupants of the houses that make up the hotel.
