Choose it for Old Town character and warm service, not modern hotel conveniences.
The Cosmopolitan is a ten-room historic inn, not a conventional budget hotel despite its listed two stars. It’s a strong pick for travelers who would rather sleep among period furnishings and explore Old Town on foot than stay in another chain room. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, comfortable beds and historic atmosphere; cleanliness also earns strong marks. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi keep the old-fashioned setting practical.
The trade-off is deliberately limited modern convenience: no televisions, a light breakfast of scones and coffee, and old-building quirks rather than polished uniformity. Crucially, the hotel’s website says the full-service restaurant operates for special events, with seasonal patio happy hours—not everyday lunch and dinner. Arrange late arrivals ahead because reception hours are limited. We’d skip it if you want full-service facilities or contemporary rooms.
