It is a wonderful OLD building. Well decorated. Great Breakfast.
My room (403) was small. The flex for the kettle was too short and the floor sloped towards the emancipation door. But i guess it's a very old building. The staff were excellent. I have no complaints.

The architecture is amazing. I can imagine Ladies and Gents in elegant dress strolling around the hotel in days gone by.
