"Staff was amazing! Had a brilliant time for our anniversary. They were very attentive and even threw in a glass of prosecco to celebrate and a cake at the end. The room room was very comfortable however, there were a few bits of hair on the carpet and curtains but nothing major. The thermal spa was amazing."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was in a good central location close to the castle and various bars and restaurants as well as the main shopping precinct. All the staff we spoke to were very polite and helpful. The pool, steam room and jucuzzi were a good size and very clean. The hotel bar and associated external terrace was a nice place to relax and the bar prices were quite reasonable for a city centre hotel. We did not eat dinner at the hotel but the breakfast was a good standard. There is no parking at the hotel but there are several multi-storey car parks near by ranging in price from £26-£35 for 24hrs at the time of our visit."

"I was visiting family so out of the room from roughly 11:00am - 11:30. The first night sleeping was uncomfortable due to what were not even extreme temperatures. I asked the receptionist for a fan to be delivered to my room and she confirmed this would happen as I had an option to borrow one locally. I returned back to the room after 11pm and the fan wasn't there after undressing ready for bed I should have contacted reception again as I had another uncomfortable night's sleep. Disappointed!"
