historic architecture, rooftop deck with scenic views, cultural options in proximity
Noise levels can be disruptive!!! The lack of air conditioning makes summer stays uncomfortable!!! A serious bathroom upgrade is necessary as they are far too small!!! It would also help to have a more robust cleaning strategy in place!!!

I appreciated the historic nature of the building, but
the room was a tad small for our needs. The cleanliness was commendable and the comfortable bed offered a good night's sleep. However, the street noise was quite disruptive, making it hard to fully relax at times.

Solo travelers cozy option
I stayed in a room that had a great view , peaceful and surprisingly well-equipped. The staff , they were willing to help , even assisting me with a late checkout after a rough night.
Wasn't exactly cheap , but it was acceptable enough.

I had a lovely experience with breakfast at Caffe Strada next door, especially with the fresh pastries and good coffee, and I enjoyed a quiet room with a pleasant view. The only downside was the bathroom being a bit tiny.

The hotel boasts lovely architectural details and a charming historic ambiance that caught my eye. I enjoyed the breakfast at the nearby café with fresh pastries and appreciated the absence of air conditioning, as a ceiling fan made the warm weather quite comfortable. However, renovations caused some inconvenience with blocked access to my balcony, and the breakfast situation was confusing due to a voucher issue, requiring extra discussion to resolve.

The charming historic ambiance of Bancroft, with its lovely architectural details, made me feel like I was stepping back in time—almost like visiting a quaint museum! The cozy little corners made relaxation effortless.
A hairdryer would be nice.
