We stayed for 2 nights in January. The hotel is very stylish and well equipped. Great location near bars and restaurants although the uphill walk after a few maybe a decision breaker!
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Our only gripes are the room we stayed in (with balcony view) was very cold. We had to ask for an electric heater to supplement the built in heating. Also we could here the music and noise from the bar (directly below) so if that's an issue don't choose the balcony view rooms. Otherwise a great stay!
From the outside hotel looks amazing and same for the bar area, then you walk to the back where rooms are and it’s in need of a face lift, carpets are worn and dirty and paint work needs a freshen up and the final touches in areas like the bathroom were sealant has been used looked like done via a novice, I go to lots of hotels around the lakes and for the money for 1 night expect more for my money it’s these little touches that can ruin the break away

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were very pleasant and kind. The property was clean and good to stay with the family.
Ro Hotel not our usual type of hotel, found it a little too corporate for our liking so only for that reason we wouldn’t stay again. Very clean and excellent choice for breakfasts. Very noisy on late evenings as our room faced the entrance/exit and car park; room very small and a little claustrophobic. Area of corridor on ground floor smelt musty from ceiling leaks, a few mop buckets around catching the rain. We didn’t use facilities on evenings so can’t comment on service or facilities available.
