Great location and large room. Bed firm. Breakfast good, but a bit chaotic when the supervisors off . Staff need a touch more training. Corporate functions on most days. Good view from the roof top bar, but it lacks atmosphere. A few more plants would help. It’s all too bland, stark and grey. We didn’t use the pool and spa. Breakfast box in place of one breakfast was excellent. Reception staff good. Room well cleaned. Shower extremely slippery and bathroom too dark. Little atmosphere in the ground floor bar, but then many hotels struggle to get people in to their bars. Overall a good hotel, but lacks polish. Aimed more at the corporate market.

A beautiful hotel with lots of character. We loved the spa area and it was always quiet when we went! We felt some of the staff could have been friendlier and we felt that minimal information was given on check in. I do find it strange that there are no tea or coffee facilities in the room. We would still recommend the hotel though as the room was huge with a lovely balcony and the spa is definitely worth a visit.

The only issue I had was the check-in process. The online pre-checkin was an absolute waste on time and not worth bothering with as the reception staff still a thousand questions when you arrive for ID, baking confirmation.....etc

This hotel was absolutely fantastic and we travel a lot. The building is of course outstanding, but more important was attention to detail from all of the staff. (Food was fab too). 100% come back when i return.

We stayed at this property for six nights and had a wonder stay. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated - adjacent to the old town square with tons of dining, shopping and sightseeing all within a few steps of the hotel doors. The rooms were quite spacious, very clean and comfortable.

Fantastic hotel with a beautiful interior and spacious rooms. The SPA facilities are charming and atmospheric, making for a truly relaxing experience. The massage was incredible — a big thank you to the gentleman with the magic touch! All the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. And the baked-in-house cake my husband ordered for my birthday was absolutely delicious.
