Hotel is central. Architecture pleasing. Clean. Service good. Covid quiet. Online info misrepresented services offered. Pool not open. And restricted services eg bar. But willing to forgive in these weird times. But if you book a place regardless of when. What’s offered and paid for, should be available.

The customer service at this hotel is excellent. All staff are polite & nothing is too much trouble. It is a beautiful, well presented, clean hotel in a great location.

The property is great. We decided to give the intercontinental another go after a disappointing stay three years ago. Unfortunately we once again where let down by lack of staff and organisation. We waited 3 hours for our room to be ready which made the night rushed for us. Not what we had planned for our first year wedding anniversary
