Brilliant, friendly staff. It is very clearly a top-rate hotel.

On arrival, we both received a complimentary upgrade which, was nice. Rooms were comfortable, the food in the Restaurant very good, and reasonably priced, staff helpful and polite. Check in and billing was efficient - and when I wanted to book a taxi it was sorted immediately
