Perfect location to explore, fantastic decor and food is top notch
Pros:

Great location, fabulous decor - the restaurant is stunning especially at night and a real hidden gem. Food was fantastic. No noise at night despite very busy bar right next to us.

Cons:

Bath was huge so hard to soak and relax in but that really is a very small issue

Pros:

Central to everything, great restaurant near hotel, really nice place to stay

Cons:

No parking on site, they did habe a carpark place which is 4 minutes drive but as the height is 1.8m we couldnt fit our vehicle in because our truck is 2.1meters tall, so we had to park about 6 minutes away which is a walk with heavy bags.

Art Deco Comfort
Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable, with the bathroom being particularly stylish. The onsite restaurant was excellent, particular the breakfast. And the staff were a delight; always welcome and willing to go the extra mile.

The building itself is exception, a lovely art deco survival.

Cons:

The main faults is that some of the furnishing are showing their age and are in need of a refresh, and the tech situation is lagging behind. There was no native option to stream from my devices in the room, although I could easily have plugged in my own chrome cast if I had known I'd need it.
