If you appreciate a step back in time then this beautifully restored hotel is for you. Dinner in the Grand Dinning Room is a treat and how nice is it to be served as madam and sir. Afterwards, coffee beside a fire in the drawing room.

Hotel is just old and looks like they tried hard to maintain but the room is quite dated. The shower leaks and the floor squeaks. And the elevator is so old and slow that we decide to carry our luggages up second floor. Very old hotel in a sleepy town. And they don’t serve dinner on Sunday nor Monday.
