A truly beautiful building refurnished with taste in the bar and lounges. Our room, the best and most expensive was large and with a nice balcony. Unfortunately the decor was not what expected. All the furniture seemed kind of thrown into the room at random. The bathroom, french style, is dated and very unconfortable. The wc in a true "closet" with no sink behind 5 meters away from the rest of the toilette seems not higenic at all by any standard. Confy bed, not king size, no selection of pillows was not up to a 4 stars hotel in Europe. Trust me, I spent over 200 nights a year touring Europe at 4 or 5 hotels. Beskfasf was ok, a little boring for a 4 nights stay. But what is a real shame is the staff. They barely take care of you! The front desk guys are all the time talking or paying with their i.phones, exception made to the very nice man how takes care of your lugagge. Bar staff is awful. During breakfast day after day they kept asking us to show the keys of our room. And it's not such a large hotel not to remember the only two women who stayed 4 nights on a row. The WORST of all was the bold man in charge of the bar in the evening. So so rude! The fridge in the room hardly works so we needed to ask for ice to have a simple Coke Zero kind of cold but he refused to give any, despite having an ice making machine that provides plenty. Had to write to the manager to get some ice. A real waste because the location and the original building are outstanding.
