Spotless room, excellent heating, plenty of hot water and power shower. In particular Visi, the front of house manager, was very accommodating, after we were unable to book the restaurant, going above & beyond to ensure our NYE was the best experience we’ve ever had. Highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed for one night and arrived late, so the hotel was quiet. Check-in was quick and efficient. Reaching the room took a while because the layout feels like a maze. When I arrived, the key did not work. I returned to reception and was told it was a known issue, and that it was easier to switch rooms than fix the lock. I was moved to a different room and made the same long walk back. The room was comfortable and the bed was good, but something in the bathroom dripped through the night which made it harder to get to sleep. Overall the stay was fine, but it did not feel like a four-star standard.
