My husband celebrated his milestone birthday at this lovely place. Sabina was wonderful in helping with my surprise for him - she recommended a terrific pastry shop just down the street for an amazing cake and helped me with selection. When we checked in, the cake was already stored in the fridge in the kitchen. One of the staff brought it to our room shortly after we got into our room, complete with lit up candles and chilled champagne. A friend recommended this place for a getaway, and now I understand why. I loved the heritage building in stone, the location, tastefully appointed rooms, luxurious bedding, the service we received from the owner and her staff. We had tickets to see a show and Sabina was very helpful with directions. She had many recommendations for restaurants and lounges and we were very pleased with the places she helped us select for dinner and drinks on both evenings. My husband is never completely offline with the kind of business he's in, so high speed wireless Internet in all rooms was a very nice touch. Breakfast is absolutely terrific, both in quantity and quality. I loved the bedsheets, they were very soft and silky. You rarely see that kind of quality linens in hotels nowadays. My husband was very much impressed with flat panel TV - from what we understood all rooms have those. We loved lounging by the fireplace in the large conference room/dining room at the ground floor in the evening. Having our coffee and breakfast outside in the courtyard garden was a treat as well. I haven't tasted such great coffee since our vacation in Europe. The Swiss muesli offered every morning with breakfast were out of this world. Next time we come we will book ourselves into one of Sabina's suites, which come complete with a large jacuzzi and a fireplace. Probably the only downside of this place is the fact there is no elevator, as hotel is in a heritage building. It wasn't an issue for us, but it may be an issue for people travelling with a lot of luggage or for elderly travellers.
I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |
