Be sure to book a garden-facing room; those overlooking the busy street are marred by the noise of shrieking traffic.
Fodor's
"The Garden Hotel (set in a house that dates to 1845) is grouped around a surprisingly green courtyard, and it offers a quiet getaway." Full review
Time Out

Frommer's
"Yes, there’s a garden here and romantics will fall in love with its creeping vines, potted plants and trees." Full review
Lonely Planet
