Stayed 1 night

Sadly, this turned out to be a disappointing stay. The building is beautiful and the welcome was friendly, but there were too many issues for a hotel positioning itself as 4*. We stayed in a “cosy room” on the top floor, which was unbearably hot. I appreciate the heatwave, but there was no fan available and no follow-up after I asked—sleep was very poor. The bathroom was particularly problematic: a tiny shower with nowhere to store toiletries, a drain that overflowed and flooded the floor, and a leaking hose that felt cheap and poorly maintained. There were also dirty marks on the wall where a shower caddy had clearly once been. The TV didn’t work. I overheard another guest reporting the same issue, and reviews suggest this has been ongoing for months—not acceptable at this level. Bar service was slow and impersonal. We stood waiting to be acknowledged, weren’t offered table service, and after sitting down waited a long time for drinks, which arrived incomplete. Breakfast was OK but lacked quality touches—generic bread cut into small slices and juice from concentrate rather than fresh. At checkout, issues were met with a brief apology, and getting a receipt proved difficult. Overall, it felt understaffed, lacking attention to detail, and a little run down. I wouldn’t recommend.

Friendly and welcoming staff to this impressive building. The location, room, decor and breakfast were all huge positives. Strong smells from the kitchen did linger in the dining and lounge area. The placement of our room meant that we needed to travel through the dining room on Valentine’s evening with our belongings, which possibly affected the mood for others and felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately in the bedroom, we could hear the rooms around us including bathroom sounds. The bed was uncomfortable.
