It is difficult to rate this hotel fairly. On the plus side: Everything about this hotel has style. The building is of the most exquisite architecture and the finishing of the rooms and the public space is near perfection - when looked from an architectural angle. On top, I found each and every member of the staff to be most friendly, helpful and competent! 5 Starts should be the result. On the down side: This is a very old building - and while the renovations have tried to reduce the noise level, it has not succeeded sufficiently. Not only did I find the windows far too thin (noise from a construction site directly next to the hotel), I could hear every word anybody said on a corridor, listen to the kitchen's preparation in the mornings - and while this may be impossible to avoid, it leads me to rate the hotel down. On top come some details which need attention: The lights in the bathroom are far too dim - no way to use contacts lenses - if not for my partner holding the smartphone with lamp function. Practically no space for our stuff around the bathroom sink. The breakfast included referred to one specific plate. When I chose something else the next morning (which was cheaper) - I had to pay extra for this nonetheless. A pricing policy which does not convince me. And last but not least, I found the mattress far too hard. It is hard to give three starts for such a beautiful place with such nice people. But as a place to get a good night sleep, this is just not a very good choice.
