Charming
This historic hotel has charm! The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. It's in a great location. No air conditioning, but a fan was provided and the windows opened, so it was fine. The food in the restaurant was mediocre.

Older hotel (stairs only-- no lift) but fairly pleasant. Decent and clean room. Dining/breakfast options were just "OK"--not terribly good or exciting. You have to call for your own taxis, which is rather annoying in a "full service" hotel; I was unable to get any taxi co to take me to the rail station, but the front desk lady was super helpful and found a solution--so kudos for that!

hotel with character - sloping floors & no lift
Lovely hotel -- room had just been refurbished so was in excellent decorative order. It's an old building so floors and ceilings were quite sloping which made navigating the room a little difficult. Also there's no lift in the hotel.

We liked the area and convenience to the cute surrounding town. We liked the room we had and the bathroom was quite nice with lots of hot water. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and it was really bad. My sister ordered potatoes and they were not fully cooked and were hard and not roasted as the waitress said but boiled. When we told the other waiter he said that's how they are.
