Lovely hotel, great staff, very central.
Pros:

The staff in all areas were extremely helpful and accommodating. We stayed in a pet-friendly room and had dog bed, treats, bowls all provided. Dogs welcome in the foyer and staff great with them.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit short on vegan options - although the chef did cook mushrooms separately for us without butter.
