Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were stunning, spacious, and comfy, but unfortunately, they felt worn down and dingy. The service was friendly and welcoming, yet at times, it seemed like they were too busy to serve us properly. The location was perfect for enjoying drinks and dinners, with a lot of history surrounding it, but it could have been better lit at night. The dining experience left much to be desired with poor quality food, although the variety was decent. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were close to a noisy ventilation system and had a strange smell, making it uncomfortable. However, the staff was exceptional, being very helpful despite some lapses in service. The location was lovely, but some areas needed improvement. The dining was disappointing for the price paid.
The hotel was in a fairly good location, close to where we were going for a wedding. The rooms at the back of the hotel had a strange smell of toilet cleaner and were a bit difficult to access due to tight corridors and stairs.
