Arrived down for breakfast at 10 and told breakfast was finished. Breakfast was due to finish at 10.00. Felt it was a bit black and white. Other staff manager sorted breakfast

Comfortable stay but only as a bed for the night. Restaurant is overpriced for what it serves. Much better choices in to
Pros:

Convenient location to shops. Easily accessible to car parks etc

Cons:

Impersonal. The self check in misses the mark, it doesn’t make check in any quicker. Can’t really see the point in completing check in online and then being asked to complete forms again at the check in desk.

Very bad value
Pros:

I felt the staff were very nice. The lobby was also clean and attractive

Cons:

It was over-priced. It was almost 300 per night without breakfast. They had cheap coffee sachets in the room rather than the now standard espresso machines. There was an 18 euro per night parking fee, and the parking was located, not on the premises, but a 10 mins walk across the river. You also had to book it on line. This lack of parking was not good as I had a business meeting and had to go back and forth with products and samples in the rain. As I was leaving, I heard another guest complain about the same thing. For 200 per night with no breakfast, that might be passable, but almost 300 with none of these essentials was terrible value. I wont stay here again. The bedroom, and in particular, the conference room was freezing cold.

Only good thing that we enjoyed was the breakfast and the service of the breakfast staff
Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

Had trouble with room service. The beds were not made shoddily. Complained to the staff asked to speak to manager. He was defensive. No apology no satisfactory answers. I am seriously thinking about not frequenting your hotels again.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The breakfast was excellent, the room was spacious and everything was very clean.

I had requested a room on a higher floor, away from the street, as I wanted it to be quiet, and they accommodated my request perfectly.

My travel adapter broke during my stay, and the hotel kindly provided me with one of theirs, which I really appreciated.

Everything was great, and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Cons:

I would like to have disposable sleepers in the room and body lotion in the bathroom. .
