6/10 Good

Booked an accessible room in error and the hotel would only agree to move us if we paid £90 for an upgrade! The shower was dreadful in the room as it was for people with disabilities and the outlook from the room on third floor was absolutely dreadful. Looked out into an alleyway full of bins/rubbish and onto what looked like a derelict building. Dreadful for that amount of money per night! Otherwise the room and hotel itself was lovely but the bathroom for people with disabilities and the outlook really spoilt our experience. I do not believe that the hotel had no rooms that they were able to transfer us to without incurring a £90 charge!!!! Very poor service in that respect.

Don't miss out on this gem of a hotel
What a fabulous hotel , great location, breakfast was the best we've had for a long time, so good we used the Eve restaurant in the evening too, normally we would explore but the quality was that good , why would we ? We can't write a review without adding the service, from the moment we entered until we left. Have to add Carlos especially in the Eve restaurant, all the restaurant and breakfast staff were amazing and a credit to the hotel.
