Historic accommodation.

Liked: Historic accommodations with great art (for sale) on the walls. Wish they had better nibbles on offer though there was free tea and coffee in the main lounge. I suggest a vending machine...like they have in Japan! 5 minutes to restaurants and the fabulous market/mall. (I don't remember the name of it, but it was by the river).
Disliked: A little stand-offish at reception. Could have told us about the attractions within the Art Complex.

Liked: The location is perfect and the decor couldn’t be anymore fabulous. The staff were fantastic and always so helpful
Disliked: The only issue I had was the bathroom door doesn’t close properly. My partner and I have been together for a while so it didn’t matter too much haha but would have been nice
