I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, despite being small, exude a comfortable and quirky 1920s ambiance that I found charming. The vintage radios and 1930s-style phones that connect to a real switchboard added a unique touch to the traditional furnishings. Although the room had not been touched during our stay, I still enjoyed the atmosphere immensely.
