9/10 Wonderful! (454 reviews)
The room was clean, the staff welcoming and attentive. Excellent shower room and accessories. Excellent breakfast spread. The room however was slightly too small for the size of the king-size bed on the wooden base with sharp corners. Came away with a few scratches on my leg.
