Quite over priced. 4 levels of car park and only two levels of accmodation and still charged for overnight parking. Small room and uncomfortably soft king bed.

For those with impaired mobility it would be very hard for sleeper against window to get out of bed!! Silly design. Room is beautiful but not practical. Floor needs a small rug to soften the hard floor. 2 suitcase racks also needed

This is really lovely location and hotel. Tiny rooms but all you need. Must say the lounges in ‘library’ on the 5th floor (at the end looking into govt house) are positively filthy. We couldn’t bare to sit there. Sad.
