The lack of conveniences can be excused in a 265 year continuously operated family hotel of charm and character. In trudging up the slanting stairs remember that Arturo Toscanini and Richard Wagner made the same trip heard the same squeaks and squeals and be grateful to be in the same space. Another rare bonus is that a seated full breakfast is included.

Super location, friendly staff, but..

The service was very friendly and helpful. The location is great, next to the Opera House. The old part of the hotel was charming and I imagine the rooms were very nice. The room I was given was in the newer section and very bland and not very comfortable. It was not consistent with the pictures shown when I booked here. I was not happy with the value and would not go back.

Cozy historical landmark to stay in

It is the perfect place if you like a cozy, old house feel, historical landmark to stay in. You pay a premium for that, and I was happy to pay it for my pilgrimage to Wagner sites. My room was individual and these never get the same love as the other bigger ones, but I have no complaints. Beautiful common areas and dining room. Very friendly staff.

This hotel is the ultimate in service and old world decor. The rooms are exquisitely decorated with antique furniture (modern mattresses), lovely wallpaper even in the bathroom. Service is available at all times in your room or the public rooms. Staff very friendly yet professional. Only 1 drawback, no A.C. But a standing fan in every room.

Great location. Old world charm.

This hotel has been in the ownership of the same family since the 18th century and it shows in the great care that is taken to ensure that ones stay is memorable. Small things like fresh fruit every day, complimentary snacks relenished daily and chocolates on the pillows at night, all count. My ony quibble is that there is no lift and negotiating 18th century staircases can be an adventure.The lack of a room refrigerator was also a negative for us. Don't let these quibbles put you off. This is a hotel well worth the price.
