It’s a beautiful hotel, with good amenities like the gym and the swimming pools. Lovely entrance lounge, with music in the evenings. Because of the hotel’s age some details such as the carpet in the downstairs lounge seemed a bit worn, but overall it is a very good hotel, with lots of interesting history. I had a good stay.
