"Lovely sized bedroom with compact bathroom that felt it needed some fresh interiors. Very clean but as room leads directly onto the corridor with no bathroom all hallway to mute noise you can hear everyone talking as they walk past. I enjoyed the downstairs lounges and breakfast was good enough but the city is a Foodie paradise so would skip that to explore areas around. Staff attentive and location is amazing as close to all key attractions with an amazing Gelateria a few doors down the portico. Lovely grand old school hotel that just needs a little uplift in interiors."
