The check in process was quite slow however this was due to the hotel being fully booked. When walking into the room and putting the keycard in for the electrics to work the whole panel came off the wall.. which maintenance fixed very quickly once going to reception as our phone did also not work within the hotel. Our room also did not have a tv remote so at 9:15pm we had to request my mother (staying in another room) to call the reception to request one as our phone was not working. Lovely hotel but we encountered quite a few problems for a one night stay.

Booked this for my husband’s 55th birthday and they were very accommodating. Premises were clean software exceptionally polite and accommodating. Only downside is that the rooms for families are caught for walk out especially for transporting luggage quite a few steps if you have a lot of luggage and children to manage Otherwise, we will definitely consider coming back

Outstanding

Everything about the hotel is exceptional. The hotel has real atmosphere, reflected in the architecture and design which have been preserved from a past era. All the staff were very helpful and gave us a warm welcome. I would like to give particular praise to Gabriella on reception and Mortisha, one of the breakfast staff. They are a credit to the hotel and the management training they must have received which obviously values the things that matter to the guest.
