    “The location was so central. Walking distance to restaurant’s. The convent was wonderful with well appointed guest lounge and dining room. What a privelege to be able to stay and be immersed in an historic building that has been beautifully curated. The room was newly renovated and very stylish. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us.”

  • Was not a pleasant stay considering how much we paid
