Fantastic building! Perfect location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Just some rooms are in need of a little TLC so it depends which of the rooms you stay in. The room we stayed in just needed updating but the bed was so comfortable and a very good night sleep was had!!

The hotel is past it's best, tired and shabby. The dining options are v limited only a brasserie / bar. Service is underwhelming, staff have generally low levels of enthusiasm and not v welcoming. Parking is expensive. We had asked for a menu before coming to the property and got no response. We were not informed we had breakfast included. This was an anniversary event and was far below expectations for the price paid. Would not come here again
