Friendly staff, room spotless and good choice at breakfast. Docking a single star as the atrium room in which we were staying did get quite hot, but there was a fan available to help offset that a bit.

Great breakfast, staff really good, lovely view whilst having breakfast. Hotel is very clean If you like to swim lengths, the swimming pool is not designed for it, due to the bottom of the pool sloping up on all four sides, if you just want to relax it’s perfect!

Beautiful clean newly refurbished room - sadly the rest of the hotel is very dated. The Sauna hasn’t been reopened since Covid - yet is still advertised as a hotel facility. Wonderful staff - who aim to provide 100% Customer Service. Big shout out to the Reception Staff / Room Cleaners and Mark the Breakfast Waiter.

This is a beautiful building with high ceilings and big rooms. It’s a bit dated, but the location, quality of breakfast and secure working WiFi by far outweigh this. The central atrium is beautiful. Sir Norman’s bar attached is stylish and serves delicious food. The Asian dishes I tried were excellent. I’d definitely stay here again.
