Wasn't there long enough to fully appreciate.
Pros:

Decor was authentically art decor, beautiful rooms. Staff were very friendly and professional. Bar and restaurant were beautiful. Great value for money considering the quality of furnishing and location.

Cons:

We had takeaway breakfast that was made fresh the night before. Only very small criticism is the drinks were in containers that leaked. Parking was on the street, metered.

Pros:

Hotel offered most of what we needed.
We are sports followers and wanting to watch semi finals of rugby, nothing available either in our room or the bar area. We had to go to the local pub.

My stay was beautiful
Pros:

Was lovely location and rooms were great too. The terrace balcony was the best part - could drink morning coffee looking at the sunrise :)

Cons:

Only downside was minimal staff available. Never appeared to be anyone around. When I first arrived I waited about 10 minutes before a staff member appeared to check me in.

Mostly comfortable, would stay again but upgrade to the bigger bathroom
Pros:

Great location, well appointed room, nice and clean, love access to outside area

Cons:

Bathroom fan was hopeless so when taking a bath the room steamed up and then proceeded to drip cold water from the ceiling. Shower head was also hopeless - felt like I was constantly being sprayed in the face, couldn’t change direction enough and logged noddles making the water sorry in every direction, really not a pleasant shower experience.
