This hotel has become well known for being a book lovers haven. The hotel itself is super interesting and each room is different. My friend and I each stayed in different parts of the hotel and had very different looking and feeing rooms. Which means each time you stay there; there could be a new discovery. The hallways and corridors are lined with books. Even if you don't stay here I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant. The food was amazing every time.
The only thing I would recommend if this hotel needs more cozy reading areas. They have a couple but they are not the most comfortable places to sit; although they are definitely aesthetically pleasing and fit the vibe of the hotel's history. We spent a lot of time out in the courtyard reading; there's a great spot under a large tree with canvas chairs.

We loved having a whole wing/suite to ourselves. The porches were so nice to sit outside in.
Restaurant was great. Staff was gracious and went above and beyond to help us.

The concept of the library-themed hotel is a great idea, but unfortunately, the execution falls short. The whole place feels outdated and poorly maintained. Much of the charm is just a façade, and there’s a noticeable musty smell throughout the building. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a disappointing experience despite the promising concept.

Very large and spacy rooms, in a very old building, Comfortable beds, nice sheets and pillows, Great having the toilets separated from the showers (in different divisions) Awesome breakfast! One of the best ever! Five star's staff, And the greatest environment to make a reunion!

One of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Prime location just outside castle wall and very walkable to all the shops and best restaurants. Fun, funky, cozy rooms and a very helpful staff. Beautiful courtyard to sip your glass of Vino Vehrde and read your book. Amazing breakfasts with beautiful pastries and a hotel cat that is precious! All around great vibe!!

This quaint hotel has a gorgeous theme of books lining all the walls and every nook and cranny. It is a book lovers paradise. It is in an old building so the stairs are a bit worn and the rooms are dated, we had second floor and the bed design was futon like on a raised platform. Great courtyard for a coffee or a drink. Breakfast was lovely and eggs could be made cook to order and were delicious too. We enjoyed an evening meal in the dining room with great service. Wine was a little pricey.
