"Excellent welcome from reveptionist Viktoria, and a brief history of this interesting building from manaher. Comfortable beds, good breakfast in lovely freshly decorated room. Beautiful building, just a little tired and in need of decoration. Great for a 3 *** hotel"

"the noise level was sadly an issue, not just outside noise but clanking and moaning sounds in the walls. Guessing pipes? We went down for toothpaste in the evening and said to ask at reception, we waited for 5-10 minutes for someone to help. A lovely worker whose shift hadnt started came up to ask if we’d been seen to, he was visibly annoyed no one was manning the desk and said he hadn’t even started his shift yet! We were offered a free breakfast however i was so tired from the noises in the night that i didnt take up on it. "

"Really large and spacious rooms which were lovely and clean. Breakfast was well stocked and had plenty of choice. All of the staff were really lovely to talk to and couldnt do more to help. The spa facilities were very good and the pool is a good size with a specific area for children. The only thing I would say is the changing rooms need a little TLC especially with the paintwork above the showers; no proper ventilation so mould is starting to show. Overall though the hotel very much exceeded expectation and would happily return."

"Breakfast was good; however, they can’t cope when it’s busy. They are lacking in the areas of cleanliness and customer service. When we initially checked in, we were given a dirty room with dirty bedding and dirty mirrors. You could see that no one had bothered to check or even clean the room. The remote control was cello-taped at the back, and the batteries kept moving out of place. The telephone itself was damaged. I tried to call using my cellphone, but no one answered. The hair dryer was another disaster. We complained about the room, and the next day you could see the difference when we walked in—it was like a different room. The cleaner did an amazing job cleaning the room and changing the bedding. The lady at reception the next day was nice, and the maintenance lady was also very kind and helpful. They are the people who made a difference. They put a new phone in the room and provided a new remote. I just wish all staff were as consistent as the reception lady, the maintenance lady, and the cleaner. It’s sad that they are excellent at their jobs, but a few bad apples ruin it all. At breakfast, we were made to wait for more than 6 minutes just for someone to assign us a table, and they were not busy. The young lady just looked at us, ignored us, and did not even acknowledge us. She disappeared for about 6 minutes; after that, she told us we could go and sit down."
