Ideal location, service leaves a lot to be desired

Hotel is in an ideal location. The food in the restaurant is quite nice. The room was comfortable. The reception staff have a strange manner and aren't particularly friendly. The staff in the restaurant are a mix between very friendly and rude. The underfloor heating in the bathroom of our room didn't seem to work. We're not sure the thermostat worked either. Our room was an adjoining room and we could hear the group next door quite well. The fire escape door outside our room was left propped open which created a cold breeze

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed using the pool before breakfast when it wasn't busy. We felt there wasn't enough social space to sit and have a coffee and chat with other guests. There also seemed to be a problem with the courtyard bar which wasn't open during our stay.
