The hotel has an outstanding location and the staff are incredibly helpful and very friendly. But the hotel seems to be run to look nice rather than function properly. The WIFI is frankly non existent which I would say is an essential when charging such a premium for a hotel. Rooms are on the small size and lack basic things such a shelves in the bathroom for towels and anywhere in the shower to place shampoo etc. The water was rarely hot so cold showers are the norm most days. If they improved a few details, specifically the WiFi I would consider returning but as it is now, I wouldn’t come back.

Liked: Staff & service
The property has a nice ambiance and the lobby is beautifully decorated. We got the superior twin room but found it to be a bit small and missing a few things that would make the stay excellent such as a soap holder in the shower, a sanitary bin in the bathroom and wardrobes that do not make a load sound when closing. I would also advise that they do something about the flies in the dining area as they can be quite annoying and there should be an easy solution to this. Otherwise the staff is super friendly and the front desk staff are particulalrly accommodating and attentive. I really appreciated the jazz music that played in the lobby and dining area and the spa was neat and clean - I had a good foot massage.
