Liked: Staff & service
Due to being so cold through night, we didnt sleep until the bedroom heated and consequently, being so tired, we missed breakfast. This was a special time for us... But sadly it was ruined by the room being so cold. We were booked for Saturday night so wanted to cancel, but were told it was too late. So it proved to be so expensive and a disappointment. We are very elderly and I feel we were badly let down. Having said that we found the staff were absolutely wonderful! Very helpful and so kind...from receptoon (particularly reception Wednesday afternoon until 11pm went the extra mile for which ... many thanks

No lift to room. 4 flights of stairs. Room was hot and stuffy (stayed in December) and tired. Very average room. Breakfast was ok, server had no idea about coeliac and gluten free options. This isn’t acceptable and was surprising as most places now very aware of allergens etc. Our daughter ended up with a limited choice and still charged full price. When we checked out the receptionist didn’t ask how our stay was or show any interest. We didn’t even get a goodbye. Wouldn’t stay here again
