“The character of this historic building, particularly its impressive architectural details, sets it apart from more modern establishments, even with recent refurbishments that introduce contemporary comforts. Its central position is undeniably convenient, making exploration straightforward, though breakfast service can be a bit hurried at peak times. For those valuing atmosphere and a sense of place, the added cost feels justified for a more distinctive stay.”
