Overall, a really enjoyable stay. The breakfast was nice and the location was really good. Room was clean and refreahed daily. A few areas of particular annoyance: there is little soundproofing between rooms so we were regularly woke up via talking, television and snoring in adjoining rooms. There is a light sensor in the bathroom, but due to its location, it didnt know if anyone was on the toilet and kept turning off. The only way to get the light on again was to get up and walk around after 2 minutes. This was extremely poor and annoying. I didn't expect to need my phone for light when using the toilet in a four star hotel.

Room was spacious and clean and nicely decorated with a view of the courtyard. The bar and other general areas including the courtyard were lovely and relaxing. There was on site parking which was excellent but I would book that ahead to make sure you get a space. The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Nice hotel in a perfect location

The hotel was very well located and within walking distance of all key sites. Staff were friendly and the hotel is in good condition. However rooms were very hot even though we could open the windows. Air circulation and air conditioning needs fixing.

The hotel is very pleasantly decorated, clean in appearance and the staff personable. Breakfast was a lavish spread, well made and very good. The water pressure was good in the shower as well, with towel heaters functional and very comfortable beds. On the downside, the entire hotel periodically smelled strongly of sewage, which seemed to seep from the halls into the rooms themselves. With the exception of the smell, I'd stay here again.

Beautiful lobby and bar area. Reception staff were ok. The rooms probably need a bit of maintenance. Some dark spots on bathroom walls looks quite unsightly. Pillows were a bit lumpy. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
