Excellent facilities overall. Very interesting mix of old and modern. Beautifully restored. A couple of inconsistencies: 1) the room had Nespresso coffee pods without the machine and a boiler for water without instant coffee. After several attempts at getting coffee, they retrieved the pods and brought instant coffee. 2) WiFi is unstable in certain rooms.
