Generally great.

Lovely hotel, clean and comfortable. A little expensive but generally worth the money. Excellent food and polite helpful service. Couple of things let it down, coffee machine in room not working and TV remote did not work until switched out batteries in remote.

Great stay in a great location

Fab hotel. Great room and very comfortable. Bit clunky on checkout with no NatWest compatibility but that’s neither here nor there as it was sorted. Breakfast service was steady away but we weren’t in a rush and everyone literally came down at once so again, understandable so no negatives.

Overall a really nice place to stay, it’s a bit of a maze getting to the rooms, could be because I was tired. The Rio Was lovely, as was breakfast but the coffee machine find t work properly (nightmare for me) and the hairdryer with really poor. May seem insignificant to some but important to me.
