Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel has piped scent in the lobby and corridors and I have allergies to perfumes. I was assured when I rang before I booked that they didn't have scent in the hotel. Fortunately the manager on duty was able to shut off the scent in my corridor but it was a stressful experience. Also the block over the road is under construction and the noise was bad enough that I was glad to leave. It was quiet from 12 - 8am.

Our family, consisting of two adults and two young children, recently had the pleasure of staying at your establishment. We found the entirety of our experience, from check-in to check-out, to be exceptional. The staff at the check-in desk and within the Lady Fairfax Room were consistently friendly and accommodating. Our hotel room was impeccably clean, and both the room and bathroom offered ample space. Furthermore, the water pressure was notably excellent. It was my birthday weekend and the staff had gave us a complimentary champagne which was a nice gesture. However, we did encounter a minor challenge regarding the accessibility of the main entrance for prams. The absence of a ramp necessitated the use of a side wheelchair lift, which, while functional, required a key for operation. On most occasions, a staff member was readily available to assist us with the pram up and down the stairs. Nevertheless, on Saturday evening, around 8 PM, my husband returned to the hotel with both my children and waited approximately five minutes for assistance, but no staff member was visible. He then observed a staff member exiting the hotel who subsequently engaged with another arriving guest rather than offering assistance. My husband then requested help, explaining his wait. The staff member eventually assisted him but, regrettably, made a disparaging remark to another colleague about my husband being a "difficult customer" as he claimed he was very busy. Overall it was a great experience

Everything about the hotel was great. From being greeted when we got there. Bags taken and delivered to our room with no hassle. Reception staff and concierge were lovely. Room was excellent. Best bed I have slept in ever I think and the pillows were just amazing. We booked breakfast and that was also brilliant. Everything you could wish for was there and if it wasn’t you just had to ask and you got it. No complaints at all on my behalf.
