This is such a beautiful and unique place to stay! It’s historical context is so cool and rare to see these days in such good condition. With that in mind, it is important to note that since this place is older, there are some features that are certainly less than modern: there is only one outlet (ours did not keep our phone chargers plugged in, they fell out easily), the beds are very creaky and loud but comfortable, the walls are thin, and the windows are hard/cannot be closed so you can hear everything outside. Speaking of outside, there area is pretty sketchy when it gets dark and people on the street are very loud with the addition of train noise, sirens, and loud cars (I constant woke up from people yelling, whistling, and revving their engines or playing loud music throughout the night) but obviously that is not something the hotel can control.
The staff at the hotel was so kind and while there is usually a doorman or they say the door is locked, every time we came back the door was unlocked despite the late night and we were able to come in without having to contact anyone (we came in the latest around 11:00pm).
Also, there are two cats owned by one of the staff members! They are super cute, but keep that in mind if you are allergic to animals.
Overall this was certainly the most unique stay I’ve ever done, and I would recommend it if you are interested in the history!
