Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was a very good size since we were 2 adults and a toddler. Staff were very helpful and courteous. Bathroom needs a bit of general maintenance. Housekeeping was lacking: we were 3 in the room but only given 2 towels. When we asked for the room to be made up, the bed was not made and no vacuum was passed so floor was left with crumbs. The used mugs in the room were not washed for the entire stay.

The room was very tired looking and cold. There was only a very thin Duvet on the bed which didn’t even go down the sides. I was there for 10 days and on the 5th day I had to ask for my sheets to be changed. I also asked for an extra blanket or something and the receptionist organised for an extra heater to go in my room. Which did help. Overall they didn’t do the “ Nice / Finer details “ you would expect from a well known inner city Hotel.

Room was very comfortable with beautiful views of the castle. Amenities were nice and the hotel was in walking distance of everything we needed. Only issue was the drain on the shower kept clogging so we just needed extra towels bc the floor would get very wet.
