The building is old and beautiful. It's kept clean and well maintained. The room is clean and nice. Views are amazing. The staff is friendly and professional. We had to leave early on our first morning there to catch the train (before the hotel breakfast time). But they cooked breakfast for us earlier. It was so nice of them.

Our room was really spacious, comfortable and very clean. We were delighted to find that tea, coffee and some little milk cartons had been left for us. Our bed was large, cozy and we slept well. There was very little noise at all. The shower was powerful., and the body soap and shampoo were useful.

The apartment is just stunningly beautiful and clean. I was very much looking forward to the stay after reading the reviews and seeing the photos. I can say that my expectations were fully met, if not exceeded to an extent. I wish we could have stayed longer. Andrew was super kind and helpful. He responded to my messages within a few minutes and came to our door to help. Highly recommend this accommodation! Beats so many five-star hotels I’ve stayed at before!
