The bed and pillows were fantastic and I loved the fresh milk and restocked fridge each day. Definitely recommend.

The hotel was lovely however it was way too hot and the air con was not effective in reducing the temperature. We also found the spa to be underwhelming. We were told there was only one hot tub working which was fine but the other one only had half the jets working and was quite grubby. There was also a damp smell not the usual lovely aroma you would expect in a spa.

Decor is gorgeous, beds are comfortable, great view from the rooftop bar. Our only frustration was that the entire area near the hotel is a maze of one-way streets and pedestrianized plazas. We parked near the cathedral and walked in as there is no parking on site
Quirky decor

Tracey

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was spacious and gorgeous. The bed was really comfortable and big! We were in a Premium King Room. The bathroom was large but it did also smell quite badly of damp. The only negative was the car parking. None available on site and not able to drive up to hotel so we had to bring all our luggage from a neighbouring public car park. Unfortunately the lift wasn't working at the car park so we had to carry 3 suitcases up 2 flights of stairs. Parking was 18 British pounds per day, pay and display, and we had to keep going back each day to pay for another 24 hours. Overall though, a fabulous hotel in a great location.
