Some guests appreciated the building's charm and the helpfulness of certain staff members. However, many reviews noted issues with service, including unfriendly or unresponsive staff, and several guests were disappointed by the breakfast, finding it limited or below expectations for the price. Bed comfort and room size were also common concerns, with some guests reporting uncomfortable beds and small or warm rooms. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's location remained its standout feature.
