Excellent facility. Nice staff, though my credit card was charged at check-in and again at checkout (reversed later that day). Excellent location, easy walk to train station. Particularly liked the classic bar. Would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel, beautiful room, with very comfortable beds. Rooms and bathroom very clean. Loved our stay here. My only issue was breakfast, the service was terrible, the staff were faffing about trying to look busy rather than service customers, it took 25 mins from ordering for the cooked option to arrive and the place was a ¼ full at best. I would recommend you get breakfast elsewhere.
