Fantastic stay!

The front desk staff were very polite and professional. I really appreciated their kindness. The breakfast team was also polite and helpful. The hotel has superb employees. I was upgraded and the reception staff were fabulous . The hotel exceeded my expectations, and I'd definitely stay again.
The room was too hot, and the radiator couldn't be adjusted because the thermostatic valve was missing..

the staff was great upon arrival. i received a warm welcome at reception. the rooms were a good size (i was very happy about it). the location is very convenient and it was easy to walk to places.
My room was quite cold. Only one radiator was working. the towel rail was also not working, so the bathroom was cold (not ideal). i think both the room and bathroom need an upgrade. i did not use the restaurant.
