Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff were helpful,polite and smart. The reception staff Maitri and Kevin went beyond their duty to help me resolve a problem. The hotel is an old building, yes it needs updating, which is taking place, but it has character and the most wonderful views. The bar area is spacious which was ideal for accommodating our large family group. The breakfast made for a good start to the day. The coffee, although from a machine, was good. Contact via email more accessible than by phone. The mark of any good hotel starts with the quality of their staff and how they engage with guests.
