Our check in was very quick and the staff were all very friendly. our room was okay but the bed !!!! was so uncomfortable I could not sleep in it so was glad we had a bed settee in the room to use, which was a lot better than the bed provided. I would highly recommend the hotel to purchase new mattresses as comfort is the only thing missing...... Great breakfast and quick check out.

Shocking stay. Queued for an hour to check in, no hot water in the room and no functional phone to call down to reception to report the problem. I have followed this up with hotel for a refund and they have accepted that all the problems were there but ‘unable to offer me a refund’ they have offered a complimentary upgrade for a future stay. I will never use this hotel again awful experience

Restaurant is excellent as well. Only hiccup was getting stuck in the lift due to a technical issue. This was however dealt with quickly & efficiently by the in house team & reception staff.

that people have celebrations, it would have been open and considerate to inform us about this. When I spoke to the evening staff, they apologised but could only provide us with an email address to contact. When I received an email, I was only offered an upgrade to a suite, if I book again and not on the occasion of a concert, sporting activity etc. So not putting customer satisfaction as a priority, they had my money and there was nothing I could do. Just not good enough!
