The location is fabulous! We loved being opposite the museum gardens, absolutely stunning and a very short walk into the city centre which was great. We were in the loft room with the roll top bath, which was beautifully decorated, clean and spacious.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
The room was fine when we first checked in, however during the night it got extremely cold, my husband slept but I was too cold, I tried getting the radiators to turn on, but they had digital screens and although I could get them to light up, I couldn't get them to turn on. I thought eventually they'd kick in on timer for the morning, but they didn't. So when my husband woke up he was shocked by how cold the room was. He managed to get them going eventually. But for me it was a very uncomfortable cold night. The mattress also needs replacing, I could feel every spring. A new mattress or a topper would definitely help.
Wifi doesn't reach the loft.
I would stay again because it is beautiful hotel, the staff were lovely and the location is ideal but I wouldn't book the loft room.

The location is brilliant! Close enough to the city, but far enough away for it to be quiet at night.
The bed was very hard, which meant we didn't sleep well.

Quiet location within walking distance of city centre
Parking a problem. Breakfast tray left on landing for duration of stay. WiFi didn’t work even when close to the hub in reception area. Room dark.
