Hotel Boutique 1850

Location and staff

The bathroom was too small for a property of this level.

Breakfast was taken in a restaurant two doors away from the hotel, and it was very good, with generous portions and a wide choice of dishes. However, it was only available from 9.00 a.m. onwards, which would have been problematic for anyone wanting an early start. Fortunately for me, I did not need breakfast before 9.00 a.m.

I was very disappointed in the room which I was given. Astonishingly, there was nowhere to put my clothes - no cupboard or wardrobe or clothes drawers. There was a desk, but no chair on which to sit at the desk. The lighting, while modern, was rather dim, so it was hard (almost impossible) to read a book. The ceiling was low, the view was on to an inner courtyard, and there was inadequate seating from which to watch TV or read. I am amazed that a hotel of this quality should offer its guests accommodation like this. It is true that when I complained, I was offered the chance to change rooms, but it did not seem worth the disruption for a stay of only two nights. The manager admitted I had been given the worst room in the hotel, but offered no explanation of why I had been put in that room.
