The room was very tired looking and cold. There was only a very thin Duvet on the bed which didn’t even go down the sides. I was there for 10 days and on the 5th day I had to ask for my sheets to be changed. I also asked for an extra blanket or something and the receptionist organised for an extra heater to go in my room. Which did help. Overall they didn’t do the “ Nice / Finer details “ you would expect from a well known inner city Hotel.

Room was very comfortable with beautiful views of the castle. Amenities were nice and the hotel was in walking distance of everything we needed. Only issue was the drain on the shower kept clogging so we just needed extra towels bc the floor would get very wet.

The architect of this building is amazing. Beautiful building and amazing view of the river. It was very convenient for walking for everything.. such as all kinds restaurants, pubs, clothes, souvenirs, and even a mall. We asked for an extra blanket for 2 days being told we could not have one because the manager was not here to open the room with the blankets. ?? So on the 3rd evening we asked yet again, then waited at the receptionist desk to actually receive one. Older televisions, remote had tape on it and did not being too the room tv. Wifi was not relaiable
