The Black Ivy Hotel met our expectations. I ordered a birthday package for my daughter (flowers, balloon, chocolates). The email contact was excellent and everything was perfectly prepared for our arrival. The staff was very nice and helpful and the rooms were nice and clean. I highly recommend ☺️

Breakfast is delicious and a wide variety of choice I love room 207 in which I have stayed twice now, even although the layout has been changed!
Climbing all the stairs - it is quite a way
