decor is amazing

The shower was terrible, the pressure was no good. And I felt like I was rolling into the middle of the bed all night.. like there was a dip in the mattress or something.

The bed was extremely comfortable with a quiet room. Curtains blocked out all light and was a pleasant sleep. Bar staff were friendly and very helpful on where to go for day trips.

The receptionist on arrival was cold and not very welcoming, and had the same experience the next morning with a completely different receptionist. Checking out on the Sunday we finally received a friendly welcome from a lovely lady behind the desk. The bathroom had a really old dirt smell coming up from the drain while showering.

It’s a charming boutique hotel with luxe touches. It’s great to see a fine period building (or two) preserved and modernised for use today. The lobby and bar area are classy and perfect for relaxing, and the food in the restaurant is top notch. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. The wooden lift is a classic and works! Plus it’s a short walk to the Octagon, surrounding cafes and restaurants and the George Street shops.

Nothing.

Breakfast was great, room was very comfortable.

1) The barman kept on pouring drinks for a woman who should have been sent home a few drinks before she was. 2) The lighting in the room itself was definitely not good enough
