Our room was at street level and as a result, quite noisy with people and traffic going by as well as workers in the alley operating loud machinery. Otherwise, the room was fine. The spa was lovely and Shoua, the massage therapist was excellent. He was very strong and did a great, deep massage.

The breakfast was fantastic, fabulous choice of food and juices; staff were so helpful and attentive. Spa was a welcome treat, after a day of exploring the city; again, staff in spa were so helpful. Room, as rest of hotel, was spotless. The windows were rather old and hard to open ( to air the bathroom, after a shower), but the building is relatively old. The private parking was expensive, but only a short walk from the hotel and we knew the car was safe and secure. All in all, a wonderful stay at The Gainsborough, will definitely return; was a wonderful experience.
