The hotel was very pleasant generally, but unfortunately we were put into a room which seemed to have been forgotten. The radiator did not work and the room could only be heated with a convection heater, the cleaning was inadequate and the kettle contained so many bits of questionable matter that we did not risk using it.

Nice stay
A very "posh" looking building and equally so inside. The room was basic but large as was the bathroom yet in need of a few touch ups. Comfortable and clean.
