Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Rooms very spacious and very clean. The only negative was the other guests lack of respect late at night returning to there rooms. You can hear everything and closing there doors made ours try to open so kept us awake for a while. I no thats not the hotels fault but maybe a thought going forward. But other then that was a lovely efficient running hotel. And would more then likely stay again

Disappointing

Concrete-hard pillows, making for a really uncomfortable sleep. Didn't like set up of room- toilet, shower and hand basin in front of window, making room dark (curtain between shower & bed), despite being a lovely day. Although a Premium Queen room booked, bed was not SmartBed adjustable :( In all, disappointed as we've stayed a few times before, in a Queen Cabin, and always thought it fab.

This hotel was beautiful and in a great area. The staff were as amazing and the rooms were nice and clean. The only issue I had which was huge for me is that is very loud. You can hear everyone outside your door like they are in your room. I was unable to sleep with the constant people walking by talking and closing doors and could literally hear the person in the next room throwing up.

This hotel is in a great location and everything is super nice and clean inside! We loved the bar in the lobby and the free espresso machine was perfect. My only complaint would be that the TV was a little confusing and it was often very complicated to connect with AirPlay.

Save your money and go elsewhere

I'm not sure what I spent £306 for two nights on. I was able to check in and out without the help of staff. The amenities were fine though, there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Only thing this hotel had going for it was the location
