Reviewed 23 July 2012 via mobile I booked my two night's stay at The Talisman through I-escape and everything I read on beforehand turned out to be true; an unwelcoming facade and entrance area, an elevator fitting perfectly into a Agatha Christie novel before entering and old fashionable fifth floor where...More

"Ask for room not fronting on street."
"Make sure you get a room with hot water and a AC that works! No normal rooms with a view, except honeymoon..."
"In the winter the rooms get very cold as the building is very old and the ceilings are very high."
"Our room overlooked a side alley rather than the main street and was very quiet. All rooms are on one floor."
