The hotel is fabulous and I love it but the service at the bar on an evening and in the morning the cleaner was incredibly rude! Not what you expect when you have paid to stay in a suite.

We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with the rooms facilities. Instant coffee, no robes etc it was just basic considering. The decor was nice and the bar area was busy with a good atmosphere.
