I’m not one to write a poor review but I do feel like future guests should get a better idea of what they’re booking beforehand. I wasn’t expecting much- but I was expecting a decently comfortable bed. The bed frame and springs are the original from 1910 and I wouldn’t be surprised if the mattress is too. You sink into one another and towards the floor at the same time- “bed taco”. It was like sleeping on a trampoline. We had to move the mattress to the floor. I’m not sure if all the beds in the hotel are like this.
I was prepared for shared bathrooms which was fine. We never had to wait. The shower is tiny but suffices.
The walls are incredibly thin and ours also had a peep hole into the room next door. Not big enough to see much through but enough to pass some extra sound and light. I could hear every word of the couples conversation next to us and also was lucky enough to hear them being intimate all morning!
Overall the place has charm, though a bit creepy it is interesting if you are into historical experiences. The tea house was the saving grace - lovely barista, delicious coffee and a great way to start the day.
Won’t be staying here again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who wants the basic amenities and comfort of a motel. It is a hostel, and should be charging hostel prices.
