Everything. We had our email questions answered by the hotel staff promptly before we arrived. They also answer the phone if you call and speak to you, a rare service these days. This hotel clearly knows it's market. We couldn't fault it. Ideal location, clean and modern room fully equipped for any discerning tourist or business client. Very friendly staff,a small bar open round the clock. The breakfast on Saturday and Sunday was one of the best we've had anywhere. Top marks to the chef, he or she knows how to cook their food, the eggs were perfect and we had a combination of fried poached and scrambled. Top quality ingredients too. Due to covid I think breakfast is only available weekends at the moment but there is a choice of places close by to get breakfast, literally within hopping distance. Can highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
