Amazing atmosphere
The dining room is amazing! What a crazy idea to have all those books. It gives a special atmosphere. Service was excellent and breakfast pretty good. However our room was kind of damp and no door for the toilets, that is kind of weird.

Not good!
Disappointed! Photos on website are deceiving. Property is a beautiful building that is run down, old carpets, painted bathroom floor is peeling, dirty. Found an old ticket dated 1-2 September under the bed and it is 31 December! The bathroom “door” is a flimsy curtain. Mattress was uncomfortable. The miniature “safe” is from the previous century and not bolted to the wall, so any criminal can carry it out of the room. The fridge is also a miniature for only 3 cans. Parking is a problem as you need to find street parking somewhere! Breakfast! Well the fruit was old and not fit for human consumption, pineapple was discoloured and apples soft and old. Not a great breakfast. As a VIP gold member we did not get our free bottle of wine and upon check out we queried it. Only the did they give us the wine bottle. Not recommended!

We love the concept, but it just isn’t a great stay in reality. The rooms are so musty smelling and moist, there were stains on our sheets, the Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, and there was no plug so we couldn’t get enjoy the bathtub. The food was great and the idea is lovely, but I was very uncomfortable staying here because of how wet it smelled and felt in our room.

Was a former convent so very interesting. Filled with books. Rooms were very interesting. Simple but fit into the environment. The breakfast was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. Highly recommend this hotel.
