The staff were amazing and so kind and helpful! They gave us great suggestions on where to eat and what to do. We tried a few of the restaurants they suggested and they were fantastic. We added on breakfast each morning at the hotel - and it was just as equally delicious and a great start to our morning each day. Plus they make great drinks at their bar if you want a nightcap before retiring for the night! We can’t say enough good things - we had an amazing stay :)

Good sized room, comfortable and well fitted out. Some minor maintenance issues need attention. Disappointing that there is no residents’ drinks service after the bar closes at 11pm.

Friendly staff and large room. Very convenient location for seeing the historic sites and even taking the tram directly to the airport. Only downside was there is no room ventilation and the windows are hard to open. Suspect this is common in historic properties.
