Para los estándares del sur de Europa, el hotel es muy caro y está bastante anticuado, sobre todo considerando que tiene cuatro plantas sin ascendor y que el negro, el oro viejo y las moquetas queer invaden la visión de las estancias.

    “We had a very short overnight stay so checked in to a standard room. The lift was not working so we had to walk up some stairs which was fine for us. Room was small but lovely. Perfect for one night. The room was also hot because it was on the top floor but there was a fan in the room which helped. Staff were very friendly and helpful.”

There are so many amazing cafes, bakeries, shops, and restaurants in Stockbridge a few minutes walk away from the hotel. The room was very well equipped with everything you could need!”
