The georgian library was super beautiful. I spent ages in there. freshly cooked breakfast was available, i really liked this!
The lift was a bit slow, i noticed. It wasn't a huge deal though.

underwhelming stay

slow breakfast missing amenities
The breakfast service was slow. i waited over 30 minutes one morning (i hate waiting!). the staff seemed poorly trained. There was a clear lack of experience. also, my room lacked basic amenities such as complimentary soaps (what is this, a hostel?).

ridiculous waiting time incorrect breakfast
The bar had local drinks! The staff knew the selection well and provided recommendations.
The shower was too close to the toilet. Opening the shower door was challenging. Waiting for breakfast took at least 45 minutes each day. The breakfast order was wrong one day. Breakfast was complimentary though.
