I stayed at the hotel for three nights for a family funeral. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance of the Pantiles and a great choice of shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were cold initially, but once we managed to get the radiators working, they were comfortable. The dining options were a bit limited for vegetarians, but the complimentary breakfast had a vast choice to suit all ages and dietary needs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had some charming elements with lovely bathrobes and cosmetics, but it was a bit noisy and overlooked the car park. The service was fantastic, with attentive staff and quick responses to requests. The location was ideal for my needs, although some areas like the bar were closed. The dining experience was a letdown with poor quality food offered. Overall, there were some good aspects, but also some room for improvement.

The hotel offers amazing little touches that make the stay very special. The rooms are spacious, clean, and warm, featuring a great bathroom with a lovely deep roll-top bath and large shower cubicle, although it may feel a bit old. The service is excellent, with a warm welcome at registration and during breakfast time. The location is key for a luxurious experience overlooking the town center, accessible within a few minutes on foot. Dining options may not be the best, with limited choices at times. Overall, a comfortable and clean stay with friendly service and a great location.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and had a great look, but it was too hot near the kitchen extractor. The breakfast was fantastic, creating a pleasant environment. Unfortunately, the service was forgetful and not consistent, while the location had its charms but needed some cleaning up.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were clean and bright, making them exceptionally comfortable and inviting. While the space was somewhat tight, it had all the facilities I needed. The neat and well-furnished bathroom added to the overall pleasant experience. The staff was very helpful with local details and other useful information, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed at check-in. The location was just outside the hustle and bustle of the center, providing a lovely and comfortable stay with a welcoming fire as a charming feature. The dining experience was good, with fresh and delicious meals, although the service was a bit slow due to a large number of guests from a previous function. Overall, my time at the hotel was enjoyable and memorable.
