Rooms were clean and had all the usual amenities. Shower was fabulous.
The hotel in general was very hot and this made sleeping difficult, staff were helpful and got extra fans but we had to sleep with the door open to the courtyard. Breakfast was nice but Luke warm at best, service was quick. The continental was the better option.
The hotel is very traditionally furnished and run, and, to my knowledge, I don’t think there is a lift to rooms on upper floors. However there are courtyard rooms on the ground floor.
The hotel has a pleasant bar and lounge for guests’ use. The restaurant/breakfast room is pleasantly furnished and comfortable. We didn’t eat there in the evenings but had breakfast there each morning. There is a fairly good buffet selection, and a good choice of cooked foods to order.
The hotel has a peaceful atmosphere and we have always been satisfied with our rooms and quality of service when we stay there.
