Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mixed experience with amazing suites but lackluster standard rooms. The service was attentive and professional, adding to the overall disappointing stay. Its location is convenient for exploring the town and enjoying a stress-free time, though some aspects need improvement.
The hotel had a great bed but a very small bathroom. The service was fantastic, and the location was quiet and ideal for sleeping. Dining was excellent, but it was in the sister hotel next door. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with separate showers, a luxurious spa bath, and friendly staff. It was nicely decorated with a jacuzzi bath, though some areas needed a bit of TLC. A slight inconvenience was having to walk across the road for breakfast instead of having everything in one place.
My stay at the hotel was a blend of modern amenities in an Edwardian setting. The room I got, though rather small, had excellent modern facilities while still maintaining the traditional atmosphere. However, I was a bit disappointed to find the windows covered with scaffolding and the room not properly cleaned with broken shower screen, cobwebs everywhere, and the bed left unmade on my second night.
