The staff were so friendly upon arrival until departure, with a glass of prosecco on check in. Our bags were left in the room for when we officially checked in. The most comfortable bed and the most luxurious room. Will definitely be back for another stay

Great location, comfortable room and bed. Even though it faced onto a street with bars it was really quiet and well insulated.

Reception area, bar & hotel room was absolutely amazing and beautifully decorated. A real feel of luxury
Check-in lady wasn't the most friendliest. I didn't catch her name, but she had bushy hair. There is no information about carpark or codes into it. I left my phone at check-in and came back down for it, and the same lady was extremely rude, sshhh'd me when I asked her if it was handed in and kept looking at the screen. Went behind reception to get the phone and handed it to me with not a word said. Her behaviour for such a beautiful hotel was a huge letdown. I found waiting staff in the bar didn't want to look at you in case you ordered a drink. I literally had to flag and shout to get their attention. Service in the bar wasn't great in general. It's disappointing for such a beautiful & expensive hotel.
