gluten free toasterverdant courtyard
I stayed in a room. it had a balcony looking over a verdant courtyard. breakfasts were excellent. My friend is coeliac and it's the only place she's ever stayed with a toaster solely for gluten free use. i have type 1 diabetes. it's the only hotel where there's been provision of jam & marmalade suitable for me.

The rooftop bar had great waterfront views.
The breakfasts disappointed me. I saw tinned fruit being served. The breakfast area felt small with many people creating a hectic atmosphere. The bacon was not good. It is typical for such places.
