Sumatry gave us a lovely welcome during Christmas week. We were offered complimentary mince pies and mulled wine. This hotel made us felt very welcome.
The carpeting in my room was not vacuumed . The shower drain was very slow, so water ran onto the floor.

the room had a modern feel with comfort at its core. the shower's water pressure was particularly good it made mornings easier. i found the staff consistently friendly and helpful with various requests.
i found the lack of readily available cash transactions a bit inconvenient. it seemed the preference for card payments was strongly encouraged throughout the hotel. this impacted smaller purchases .

The staff were helpful. Extra items were delivered quickly. I requested extra hangers and milk, and they arrived promptly. There was also a nice outdoor space behind the restaurant. The front desk staff provided useful bicycle parking advice.
The bathroom lacked a place to hang the shower towel. There was an adjoining door to the next room, so I could hear noise. The coffee maker only worked once out of several attempts!
