"Hotel Bardo is a lovely property, nestled across the street from Forsyth Park and providing a lovely lounging pool, a restaurant, a bar and a pool bar and a coxy feel amidst a busy, touristy city.
The property is well maintained and one rarely has to open a door as the door staff is dutiful and courteous. The food and drink are outstanding and the general appearance and comfort provided by the rooms is top notch. Would be great to have a couple hooks in the bathroom/hallway for coats and towels and wet clothing, but aside from that the accommodations were great.
The one thing we recommend to any visitor is to decline room 101, 102, 103 or 104. We were assigned to room 102, which had a large window bay overlooking the park. We really enjoyed gazing over the park, watching the sun set, just the ambiance it created right outside out window. But we did not enjoy nor appreciate that room 101 is used as a staff room, across from the rear door of the managers area and adjacent to the baggage storage room. Every night the doors slammed repeatedly, thereby negatively impacting our sleep. Presumably the staff was aware of our presence but apparently just didn't care. If you're going to pass through those doors after 10 pm with hotel guests possibly resting nearby, close the doors quietly. This was really disappointing from such a high end property, and probably not something at issue for 95% of the rooms... but if they assign you 101-104, definitely decline."
