8/10 Good
"Washer available but no dryer. There is no ensuite bathroom, so only suitable for couple. But a very large lounge with a large outdoor on the 3rd floor for this penthouse apartment. Modern open kitchen with all facilities you need for in house dining. We enjoyed the stay and felt very comfortable for two of us."

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel is Beautifully restored. I especially loved the old lift !! The staff where amazing and the food was yum yum yum !!! The room was perfect at a great price. Just some small things - the Big TV (which was great - most places have ridiculously small tvs) was up next to the roof and in a small single room its just pointing to the other side of the roof instead of tilting down. And there where 2 small brown cockroachs that I killed. Otherwise an amazing stay that I will tell others about and will stay again."
