The hotel is beautiful inside and out and the staff are friendly. It would be fantastic all around, if it were possible to get any sleep. All night long - from 9PM until close to 4AM - there are people yelling and drinking at the many bars around. There is also loud, throbbing techno music that comes through the walls, floors, and window. When you check in, they cheekily offer you earplugs and say "it probably won't be that bad but just in case...". That's a bad sign. It's awful. Absolutely awful. It reminded me of trying to sleep in a Thai hostel, except it costs €300 a night to be kept up by partying rather than €3. Maybe it's not so bad on the weekdays... Or maybe it's fun if you want to stay out all night joining in the party... But if you are here for work, with a family, or just enjoy a decent night's sleep, then this is NOT the hotel to stay at. I didn't see any reviews about this when I checked before booking. I hope someone reads this one. I cannot recommend this hotel. It's a shame too, as the property is historic and beautiful. But I'd rather stay in a terrible motel and be able to sleep than a beautiful hotel that's being screamed, laughed, and thump thump thumped all night long. Ugh.
