There were renovations going on in the hotel that we weren’t informed about when we made the booking — the restaurant was thus closed and it was noisy. The aircon in our room didn’t work, the hot and cold water taps of the bath was switched and the giant chess set has three pieces missing! Utterly disappointed in our stay.

Great but requires some maintenance

Everything was excellent, wonderful location, brilliant bedding, great service. Only issue was there was a leak in my room with a dripping tap or aircon that kept me awake most of the night. I reported it the next morning and staff said “sorry, we will het it fixed”. I only stayed one night so didn’t benefit from that.
