Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the room itself was beautifully decorated and clean, the service was severely lacking. We were misled about many advertised amenities, and the dining experience left much to be desired. At the high price point, it felt like we didn't get the value we expected and will not be returning.
Our stay at the hotel was filled with disappointments, from the lack of services that were heavily advertised, like the butler service, to the overall neglect of the facilities. While the room itself was beautiful and well-maintained, the value for money was sorely lacking at the rate we paid. The breakfast experience was frustrating, as we had difficulty accessing it, which was a letdown for our special occasion.
The hotel is a unique blend of Victorian charm with stunning decor, and I was in love with the room's design. While the ambiance and creative events added to the experience, the service left much to be desired, falling short of expectations mentioned on their website. The experience was memorable, yet the inconsistencies and rude service made it hard to justify the high price.
I had high hopes for this hotel, expecting a luxurious experience based on their website, but ultimately it fell short on many fronts.

My stay at the hotel was far from what I'd hoped for. While the room itself was beautifully designed and newly done, the service was an absolute letdown.

My experience at the hotel was disappointing overall. I had high hopes for a fun birthday brunch based on their advertised menu, but what was offered was nothing short of a letdown, resembling more of a poor continental breakfast rather than a gourmet experience. Although the hotel had a charming layout, the service and quality of amenities did not match the price, making me question the value for money.
