charming stay in a Heritage Building

helpful stafftraditional buildingdaily serviceelectric fans

The location was unbeatable and i found the staff good and very helpful. The traditional building had real atmosphere and character. My room was serviced each day as requested, a really nice touch. The air conditioning and electric fans offered welcome relief from the humidity and heat.

The plunge pool is quite small it is more for a quick dip than for swimming.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

limited spacestreet noise

I encountered a few issues. The room felt quite small. Storage space was limited, and I struggled to keep my luggage organized. the noise from the street was noticeable, especially in the early morning. I wish the windows had better soundproofing, because I woke up several times.
