The room was clean and staff was excellent. However, there are no ice machines in the hotel. To get ice you have to call the restaurant and they will only bring up one bucket at a cost of €7. There are no refrigerators in the room either or microwave. Very basic and not like in the US AND Canada.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are out dated. We were in a ground floor room with bars outside the window reminiscent of a prison. There was no AC however they did provide a fan. We didn’t feel comfortable leaving the windows open at night. The access to the parking garage is extremely narrow and many rental cars have been scratched and damaged on the narrow walls. Staff were helpful and the breakfast was good.

Lovely, grand hotel. Rooms are a bit dated, and fresh, lighter coloured furniture would be preferred. Bed was very comfy. Shower screens rather than shower curtains would be preferred. Nice touch to have biscuits and water in the room. If fridges were added to the rooms, that would be good too. Lovely lobby, bar and restaurant area. Breakfast was brilliant and the scrambled eggs were delicious and golden! The smoothies and yoghurt granola pots were great too. Hotel is in a great location and easily accessible by public transport and close to the RDS. Definately recommend this hotel.
