Review Score: 4

Summary: The hotel in itself is beautiful, the staff is nice, vibe is mellow. Epic staircase and old pretty building. Great location. When we first saw our room we were pleasantly surprised at how pretty it was. However, once night time came around it was not so pleasant anymore. Cigarette smoke was coming in through the window, doors were slamming loudly from the corridor, people downstairs in the courtyard could be heard very clearly (echo). The slanting mattress and the springs which could be felt through the fabric didn’t exactly improve the sleep either. I was so irritated I got up in the middle of the night and booked a new hotel, even though we had already paid for the next night. Needless to say, this is not the place for you if you are light sleeper and don’t appreciate passive smoking. And this was just a Thursday. Weekends must be absolutely horrible.
