Had a very relaxing time here after my flight. Booked a suite and it was very comfortable and spacious. The tea and coffee facilities were above par. The access to the spa was much needed. The pool was great and the sauna and steam room very relaxing. Dinner options are a little overpriced but thats to be expected. The breakfast was varied and tasty. The staff were all very profesional and courteous. Will definitely stay again.

Great for a Valentines Day Stay

We have stayed here more than once as a couple and the stay has always been great. This time we went on Valentines and it was very busy (bear in mind for the review) The highlights are the room, the food from the restaurant downstairs (especially breakfast) and the facilities nearby (Cinema and Restaurants less than 5 minutes). The downsides are the parking is underground and convenient but there aren’t many spaces and the ones that are there are very tight. The pool was also extremely busy last we were there. I can’t speak to the treatments as they were all booked up. Overall it was very positive and would stay again albeit when it is less busy next time

Beward Hot Trolley burns when touched

Room service was delivered in a hot trolley. No warning was given that the shelves and plates were red hot and I burnt my when trying to remove the food from the shelves. This resulted in my spilling food on the floor which was wasted. I was then charged £125 for carpet cleaning despite the problem being caused by the hot trolley. Very dissapointing that I didn't even get an apology for the inconvenience of burning my hand, never mind being charged for it. Beware..
