Pros:

Hotel close to main road but very quiet. Rooms looked nice. Very comfortable room temperature. The breakfast was very good - both continental and English. The English breakfast was available on order and freshly made.

Nothing special
Pros:

It was central and in a beautiful building, it felt like a luxury hotel and certainly charged those prices.

Cons:

No mini bar
No water in the bedrooms
Continental breakfast had run out of fruit at 9 am and looked un replenished.
The hotel felt like there was no one in charge
