Hi there,

Yes and no. For our standards still acceptable 2-star, partly due to the magnificent hall, restaurants etc. Rooms are a bit outdated.

New wing, Regency, is 4/5-star. Loved it!

All the best,

Erik + Sandya

The old wing is just about ok. They have old rooms with sometimes creaky beds and bad pillows. It all depends on what you want. if you are looking for a colonial hotel then such things can add some charm.

the new wing is called the Regency and has some nice over priced rooms.
