A great property in a very central location. The only thing that drove me crazy was the use of QR codes to do everything that just wouldn’t work at times. It took 20 minutes to try and order room service for my daughter and there was no TV unless you downloaded a chrome casting app, then mirrored your own device off your own Netflix of similar. This was a real hassle and finally after getting it all sorted the connection kept dropping out. We travelled 5 hours and the kids just wanted to get room service and watch a movie and it was a very challenging ask!!! Not what you would expect from such a lovely hotel.
