Great location and large room. Bed firm. Breakfast good, but a bit chaotic when the supervisors off . Staff need a touch more training. Corporate functions on most days. Good view from the roof top bar, but it lacks atmosphere. A few more plants would help. It’s all too bland, stark and grey. We didn’t use the pool and spa. Breakfast box in place of one breakfast was excellent. Reception staff good. Room well cleaned. Shower extremely slippery and bathroom too dark. Little atmosphere in the ground floor bar, but then many hotels struggle to get people in to their bars. Overall a good hotel, but lacks polish. Aimed more at the corporate market.

A beautiful hotel with lots of character. We loved the spa area and it was always quiet when we went! We felt some of the staff could have been friendlier and we felt that minimal information was given on check in. I do find it strange that there are no tea or coffee facilities in the room. We would still recommend the hotel though as the room was huge with a lovely balcony and the spa is definitely worth a visit.
