One of the best quiet hotels, great rooms and the longue and library parts of the hotel are wonderful spaces to chill and work, if the rooms are too cramp for you. Cosy rooms and comfortable beds make this a wonderful place to stay.

Arrival instructions are out of date and sent us to a construction site. Our room had a strange smell. We tried running the taps for a while because we thought the smell was coming from a drain in the bathroom but it didn’t go away. Using the aircon helped it to dissipate - but as soon as we turned the aircon off the smell returned. The bed was way too soft and we had such an uncomfortable night feeling like we suffocating in the plush cushiony bed!
