Restful city break.
Pros:

Room size, which we stayed in, was adequate. Bed was very comfortable, good sleeps. Restaurant,food was excellent.

Cons:

Lift only for rear rooms. Our room was to the front of hotel and my wife and I had to carry luggage up to second floor. Lighting could have been better.

Pros:

I was after a last minute relaxing get away, and this hotel was perfect. The room was really cosy, clean and had a nice design. The spa pleasantly surprised me as it looked quite small on pictures, but there's actually plenty of room to lounge seperatly from others, and has very chill vibes inside.

Dirty, smelly, outdated and scalding hot shower
Pros:

The reception staff was kind and the bed was comfortable.
Staff tried to solve the situation for the following day but with so many negatives it was impossible to.

Cons:

The toilet was unflushed upon our arrival, and the bathroom was just dirty - completely unacceptable! The room and corridors smelt like old carpets that haven't been cleaned in a while. No window to open in the room to try and air it out. Couldn't even have a shower because there was a single temperature, SCALDING HOT!

Had the place booked for 4 nights and left after the first. Paid £237.19 for the "pleasure" of staying that first night.
