Liked: Staff & service
The room was a flight of stairs to the first room , a long a corridor down two flights of stairs which were narrow . Through a heave door only to find the steps down literally as you open the door and then three stairs up to the room . All very narrow and difficult to carry bags . I was asked if I needed help but the main stair case was fine if I had been made aware of how far the room was away I would have taken it . Staff very friendly

Limited options for vegetarians in the hotel restaurant. Very noisy if you did choose to eat there with a DJ playing loud music in the bar. Coffee in the room and at breakfast was dreadful, please change the brand. Room was nice, but not particularly clean, our view was of an air conditioning duct and the back of a building, bathroom was clean.

The hotel had different options for dining and a large bar/restaurant area with a covered outside terrace with excellent staff that were most helpful at all times. I paid an additional amount for breakfast, however the filter coffee at breakfast was bitter and not very warm. When I asked for a coffee latte there was an additional charge which I think the hotel management should reconsider.
