Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were so comfortable and beautifully decorated, although they did tend to get a bit too warm at times. They were spotlessly clean and had everything I needed from tea and coffee to toiletries. The breakfast room was lovely too.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had comfortable beds. The food selection was fantastic, with delicious tastes at a very reasonable price. Room 8, my elegantly decorated twin room, was just lovely, though a tad bit bigger would have been great.
The hotel rooms could have been a little bigger, which the kids loved the moment they walked in, and the wee jammie dodgers packets left out for a morning cuppa tea were a nice touch. The rooms were immaculate, beautifully decorated, and the beds very comfortable. The service, including housekeeping and a welcome drink, was top-notch. The location was ideal for getting to attractions either on foot or by tram or bus, with the Winter Gardens just a 5-minute walk away. The hotel is perfectly situated to reach all the main attractions, offering a good balance between proximity and peace and quiet. The dining experience was fantastic, with a breakfast spread that included cereals, fruit, yogurt, a full English, toast, and jam, with a daily changing menu. The facilities were excellent, using quality products. Overall, a great stay with some minor room size concerns.
