I will forgive the few things we didn't appreciate, like the AC unit immediately blowing on the bed (the only location possible) and the loss of the crepe cafe on the street, waahh. The breakfast was lovely, bed super, shower super. I would come back in a hot minute. If you have terrible knees, there is no lift. However, there is a dumbwaiter for your heavy bags, so there's that!

Super location

Location couldn’t be better - right in the heart of the Rocks. Overall we loved the hotel for its great service and spacious room which included everything we needed. A small fridge would have been nice but not an issue. A few minor comments - our room was close to the restaurant which got a bit noisy at times. Live music outside was a bit noisy but didn’t go too late. Air conditioning stopped working after the first night. The room was clean but showing age. Bed was super comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Despite a few minor flaws, I’d recommend this hotel and would most likely stay again.

The room we were first given was extremely smelly, we asked for another & the manager gave us an upgrade, which was much nicer. Overall, the hotel is very tired - even the nicer room had many problems ie noisy air conditioning, broken toilet cistern (running constantly), dirty non-functioning blinds. No bottled water, no mini bar, filthy coffee maker. I don’t think this hotel is 5 star (as advertised). We won’t return.

The elevator only takes luggage, so you have to walk up stairs to your room, so be aware. Staff is very friendly, but they didn't explain that guest must hang different door tag then don't disturb to get the $10 no room cleaning credit.

The area that it is in is wonderful and the building is charming but I’d say the hotel needs a little upgrading. Smelled a bit musty to me. I realize it’s expensive to do but to be greeted by a cool room and not a hot musty room would go a long way. The bathroom had mold and dirt in the corners of the shower that could have been cleaner. The air conditioner didn’t work in the first room we were given. Not pleasant on a muggy day Breakfast were good.
