"Balcony had no view. Showed the roof next door. Music until 3 am kept us up. Absolutely unacceptable. Couldn’t get to our room by elevator. Had to walk up two flights of stairs. Due to music disturbing us till that ungodly hour will never stay there again"
"Hotel is clean, in a great location right across from the train station and everything is pretty modern. Some things needed a bit getting used to - like having the sink outside of the shower/toilet room right next to the door. Felt weird. But it had all the amenities you need, including safe, robe, slippers etc. The bar was very well stocked and everything was free, including drinks and snacks! I especially enjoyed the Nespresso AND frother in the room. It made it easy for me to have my morning latte/croissant and relax. I did not use the breakfast. They needed a time commitment, which I found inconvenient and which was not possible for me with jetlag. But that was the only downside. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
Be aware that some rooms do not have windows that open. I was lucky and had a corner room, where I could open a window. Probably does not matter for most people, but I really need to be able to open windows in my rooms. Would stay at this hotel for sure again!"
"Terrific location for tourists. Access to all of the stores, restaurants, pubs (and castle!) we could want. Hotel had the needed amenities, helpful staff, and decent-sized rooms. No complaints."
"Stayed for two nights, room was good, food was good. Breakfast hot options not the greatest didnt give 5star bacon rind still soggy. Egg station is a good ofdering but on busy mornings large queues, coffee machine cant handle large volumes and toaster inadequate for busy breakfast service. Table Service in bar slow staff very pleasant but could be more attentive with observing drinks being liw and proactively ask if another is required begore glass is empty. Spa facilities really good, grounds kept immaculate would return "
"Very friendly reception staff, provided early check in and late checkout. Showed me to the elevators (which they didn’t need to)! Very nice facilities, and in a great location. "
