Most enjoyable stay. Very relaxing.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent. All cooked and served. No buffet! How wonderful that was. Wonderful breakfast staff.
Very fortunate with thexweather so sat out to watch sunset on verandah 2nd floor.
We liked the quirky style of the hotel. If you like grey/ ultra modern, zero history, not for you, but loved the poetry book in room, the sitting areas, but really this hotel is about location!

One to avoid
Pros:

Excellent Location

Cons:

It’s not clean, very poor hygiene. The hotel smalls a bit damp all over. We had a ripped duvet on arrival. The tv wall mount had about 2 years on dust on it. The whole place smells of damp.
I had to extinguish the cigarette box in the smoking area, it was on fire.
