Absolutely a dropdead gorgeous hotel. From the lobby to the Oyster Bar and restaurant to the downstairs pub everything is absolutely perfect. Our room was amazing and looked out onto Eyre Square, which is where you want to be. A ten minute walk to the Latin Quarter, which is where we spent most our time souvenir shopping and going to all the various restaurants and pubs. Super fun. Great location for the hotel.

Went for a one night stay, it was amazing. The hotel is fabulous staff are fabulous. it was a real 10 out of 10. The beds were super comfy, so were the pillows, the breakfast which was included in the room rate and made a super full menu, with plentiful breakfast items that wouldn’t disappoint every taste - I cannot find anything that wasn’t first class. We will stay there again for sure.

Excellent hot breakfast buffet &/or complimentary menu choices. Beds were very comfortable. Central location on Eyre Square was so convenient to Shop Street & all the restaurants & pubs & made our trip completely walkable. Nearby parking was close to major shopping centre.

The amazing thing about this hotel is the service-very attentive. Our room had an issue so I requested another. The front desk offered an amazing room for the trouble which was not expected at all. An amazing view, much bigger, and a really nice gesture.

Great location .. lovely old hotel but needs some freshening up. Large comfortable rooms, beds and bathrooms but dated and dreary. Good service personnel but front desk personnel need some “hospitality” training. Very quiet and nice even with two weddings and a bachelorette party going on.
