The Hermitage Hotel is an old hotel that has seen better times. The hotel is refurbishing the rooms, we were at the 4th floor and rooms are great: new, extremely clean and very comfortable. The worst part of the hotel is the breakfast and poor service that is offered: lack of staff, ham with mould, cheese that is so overdue that the corners are lifting due to dryness. When pointed out to the service, the shrug their shoulders, didn’t say anything and left (the cheese/ham stayed, not sure if they removed them later). Similarly with pastry: had to ask repeatedly to refill the pastry board. In summary, an hotel that is trying to upgrade, which is good. My advice will be to train the staff and the chef in the breakfast.
