The hotel itself is beautiful but I found the check in and out process very long and frustrating. I had to provide photo ID and pay £100 to check in. The room was nice but very small for £284. Took ages to get served in the bar aswell. The door in the bathroom made a very loud noise and I had to list every item i consumed from the room when I left.
