the hotel grounds are amazing and huge, a lot of trees and the grounds are very well kept. the hotel is EXTREMELY old and has not been renovated for ages. I mentioned this at the front desk and the answer was "the owners want to keep the the authenticity of the building" which is an excellent idea, nevertheless, this does not mean to not paint the facade or to renovate the rooms. old carpet in the rooms, the bathrooms are very very old and do not work properly (our shower head was a joke, and the shower had leaks all over the place which would flood the bathroom), we complaint about this to get it fixed and we were told it would and of course after 3 nights nothing happened. outdoor seating area is nice, pool is also nice, although quite chilli. breakfast was ok leaning to below average.
