I liked that it is a historic old building and that it has an art gallery in it - lots of interesting art everywhere. Proprietor was pleasant, helpful and welcoming. As it is such an old building there are a lot of stairs to walk up and carry belongings, no elevator. I did not mind that but would not recommend to anyone unable to manage stairs.

There were cobwebs on the walls everywhere even in our room. While the bed was clean, the restaurant was closed and there was nothing available for the continental breakfast in the morning … we looked twice to see if there was anything available.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not very accommodating, very dirty commons area, would not dare to have coffee or eat anything in there. No room in the little common fridge to put anything. It was filled with lots of old food. Two of the bathrooms were very dirty as well. The room was OK not much to report there. Saw very little of the staff who didn’t seem to be bothered. If you left your room door open, the cat would come in and make itself comfortable.

It was cluttered with pictures and made me feel that if there was a fire I wouldn’t make it out alive, The beds were clean and the sheets. The bathroom was clean. Floors were sticky. Too much stuff everywhere.

Welcoming staff but building was not clean and very crowded with furniture and “stuff” everywhere. Chair in the room had ripped fabric, used towel in our bathroom, dead flies in bathroom light fixture. Our bed seemed clean.

Night in an art museum.

This is a quaint old building. It’s like being in a museum. Art lovers will be entertained for hours. People are friendly and welcoming. The sheets were clean. The washcloth was stained. They should switch to dark colours. It may be the water. The room was dusty. This could have happened when the window was opened. Don’t expect fancy. It has a 70s laid-back vibe. We upgraded to private bathroom. That was Not clear on the booking site. Breakfast was fruit cups and pudding. Chill out and go with the flow.
