Although the kitchen had not been told of our request for a croissant in lieu of a full breakfast because of an early checkout to catch our flight, they handled the request with aplomb.
The staff were wonderful, and the upgrade to the suite was amazing.

“Lovely location and restaurant, but I wouldn't stay here again.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Executive Queen Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The lighting in the room was very poor. As soon as there was no daylight, the room was quite dark, even with all the available lights on. Being on a business trip, I needed to do a lot of reading at night and I struggled in the poor light. I was told the lighting was chosen that way to create a romantic atmosphere for couples. Given that the property has conferencing facilities, I would expect that business travellers would be welcomed too, and that their needs would be taken into account.
The breakfast was good although the options were quite limited. I really enjoyed the location.

Nothing to dislike.
We arrived a little ahead of 2pm bookings time and immediately made welcome and invited to wait in the comfort of the library whilst our room was prepared . Not only were we allowed earlier access but we were also upgraded to a suit .This generous gesture was very much appreciated and we loved staying in this beautifully renovated Art Deco building ( just down the road) Everything about the breakfast was perfect,the setting,table service and delicious interesting choices of food and drinks.We were not rushed at all which allowed us plenty of time to enjoy this special treat. Check out time of 1100 also welcomed .

I eventually got a refund but it was hassle I could have done without...chasing it up that is ...and at first they didn’t see that they had made an error but after a few phone calls over a couple they found their mistake and refunded me...it turned me off an otherwise good experience
