Very beautifully decorated for Christmas and lovely staff
Would’ve liked a bath in the bathroom but not a complaint as that’s just me being picky.

It feels luxurious! The room was huge and yet cozy. Shower was amazing. Great location. Stunning breakfast.
Early morning (6am) delivery of beer kegs right outside our bedroom window. Which went on for half an hour.

The internal decor is super stylish throughout the hotel. The quality of food served for breakfast and evening meal was excellent. First - class staff as the level of service from all members of the hotel team at all times was attentive and super efficient.
Room storage was fine for a short stay but not for more than 3 days. Plus the pillows perhaps not as comfortable as they could be as just a bit flat.
