This was a Christmas trip for my Mum, I thought I give her a surprise treat, we booked in on 22nd December, great location as described but I want to say a huge thank you to the staff, warm welcome, swift booking in, the Junior suite was amazing the room was clean and tidy, and such lovely touches like mini bar and Nespresso coffee machine and plenty of towels and soft dressing gowns, and the breakfast was great selection, hot and cold to choose from only drawback a bit hectic around the toaster . Will use this hotel again and would recommend 100 percent, thank you for a perfect start to Christmas, see you soon.

The hotel is beautiful, and the location cannot be beat… So close to the vibrant downtown yet in a quiet and residential area. The rooms are a bit sparsely decorated, and the wait for hot water is something which should be remedied, however the stay is more than comfortable.

There was no hot water in the room, was told that we were upgraded to a king room but it was two Donnie beds pushed together. The shower screen was also broken and issue with toilet plumbing. Really not worth it for the price
