The hotel was a fun experience and the rooms were beautifully decorated. Unfortunately I did not sleep as the bed was quite hard. The walls were also very thin and as we were downstairs, I could hear every single movement from upstairs. It felt like they were in our room.

Altogether, a very disappointing stay from the unprofessional staff (one out of the four I encountered was nice) to a tired, creepy property. The front of the property looks nice in the photo here, but the dirty courtyard includes rat traps and rubbish.

Unique rooms. We had a lovely stay. Be aware there are lots of stairs and narrow staircase,which we didn't mind. Also there was no fridge in the room. Again not the end of the world but I know some people need a fridge for medicine etc We thought we had ordered breakfast but hadn't so I can't comment on the breakfast. Would I stay again. Yes.
