Beautiful building. Nice room. Staff at check in were really friendly and we were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade at check in. Only thing that spoiled the experience was being forced to pay for that upgrade at check out, even though it was expressly described to us as complimentary. It was explained the charge was because I was not ‘a member’. When I explained that their colleague had been aware I was not a member but had upgraded us and confirmed there was no charge - no response or any attempt to verify this. Not even any expression of regret for any possible misunderstanding. I was made to feel like I had tried to get away with not paying a charge, when it seemed to be the hotel’s mistake, or a breakdown in communication on their side. I was in a rush and did not have time to argue, so just paid. I am unlikely to return to this hotel or the chain due to this service.

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Absolutely beautiful building, extremely skilfully converted to a hotel. The welcome from the front desk person on our arrival at 10.30pm was wonderful. She seemed genuinely pleased to have us at the hotel. The room was spotless with the bathroom excellent with a great shower. Breakfast was delicious and served with joy and love. The bar was nice and the bar staff equally lovely. The staff are an absolute credit to this hotel. So cheerful, welcoming, and polite. Absolutely no complaints at all - which is rare for me :-)
