Good hotel but weather was very bad which spoilt the trip to the festival.

Overall it was a very good experience and have absolutely not complaints. I did however shop around to get a good deal on the room and am talking based on the price paid. I would not have wanted to pay the rrp that the hotel asks for esp since I travel a lot.

Very clean and modern facilities while maintaining 'old world' charm that the hotel has in abundance. Friendly staff. Great location.

Comfortable attractive room.

Breakfast dishes were still outside our room when we checked in at 5pm.

We had a wonderful stay and have booked to go again soon. The shoppers' bargain deal that we had was excellent value for money.

The hotel is very well located - in the heart of the city, and in walking distance from all the main tourist attractions. Recently refurbished, it is the perfect hotel for a weekend getaway (as this was our case), or for a holiday. The staff is very friendly, and their recommandations (from restaurants to festival events) were great. Both the restaurant and bar stay open relatively late, which is a plus. The rooms are large, and nicely furnished. I loved our staying there and will return.

Location

Quality of the room furnishings and bedding, and ability for climate control without opening windows. The Saturday night I stayed over was the worst sleep ever. I have stayed in many hotels close to clubs and bars, but because of the location of my room it was like I had several drunk partiers in my room with me until 4am. NOT a pleasant experience.

No parking provided by the hotel. Less than helpful concierge staff

excellent site, general good quality

Enjoyed the stay and the public areas (bar / restaurant) are very pleasant. Look forward to returning once the rooms have been redone. Would only recommend this hotel once that work is complete.

Location

I know that the hotel is about to undergo a refurbishment programme. The bedrooms, in particular, are very dated. The bathroom smelled of dampness on arrival, which is not something I have come across in a 4 star hotel before.
