Need more staff and a bit of TLC
In need of some tlc
Room was nice and spacious- old fashioned furniture, boiling hot - apparently pipes run under the rooms which they cannot control the temperature of.
A fan provided but of little use. Evening meal was nice although lack of staff meant a long wait for everything.
Breakfast buffet average

Very pleasant hotel. Room spotless and comfortable. Wifi terrible but that is a small point. The kitchen was closed while we were there but breakfast was supplied although dinner not an option which was a pity. Lovely location and excellent waiters - very helpful and friendly.

Running on a shoe string
Awful menu choices,only in the bar area not the restaurant. One man running around doing everything,hence,the very slow service. Food was cold. Breakfast was worse,there was a permanent cry of "no eggs" staff were kind but not up to catering for a hotel full of guests. Shower was noisier that a pnematic drill and when using it there was tap no water! The TV didn't work as a TV only as a radio in the morning . The cups in the room were dirty.Beautiful views ! I came a few years ago and can't imagine that it will still be here in another couple. Running on a shoe string,about to snap!

Beautiful location but service was slow
We had a lovely stay for one night. The hotel location is stunning and we were delighted to see this on arrival.
We had a room with a beautiful view but the interior of the hotel was comfortable but quite dated.
Dinner was delicious but we waited a long time for it.
Breakfast was ok but we had to go and look for cutlery and ask for coffee as it wasn’t replaced.
Overall it was ok and we would return.

The hotel is in a fantastic location. If you’re expecting modern and contemporary then think again. It’s an old building but the staff are very nice and it has character.
