Very nice and comfortable and lovey place. Service was great
However, Criticism would be that ‘nothing’ flushed out of the toilet if you understand what I mean, so clearly a drainage problem but not very nice. The bath wouldn’t drain after we had showers either.
Also we booked our breakfast for 9.30 but had to sit in the lounge as there were no tables available? The topping up of the self serve buffet was not great and seemed a bit chaotic. They clearly they had guests to feed so should have been more prepared maybe. Another couple of toasters and definitely another coffee machine would go amiss!
Other than that lovely!

Lovely hotel, perfect location
Great location for all amenities, really comfortable and well decorated room. Toothpaste in the sink which was the only fault of the whole stay. Great choice at breakfast with good quality food. Would stay here again.

A Charming hotel ..
Charming hotel, quiet and very central to everything in the city. My only observation was that the mattress wasn’t the most comfortable - it seemed quite well used.., otherwise it was great

What a beautiful hotel. Our rooms were incredibly comfortable and quiet, as I had asked for. The garden at the back is lovely and there are plenty places within the hotel to sit and relax. Very comfortable. We will come again.
