Found a hair in my bed but I was only there for 1 nights and it was 2.30am I arrived so didn’t complain. The rest of the room was spotless.

After an initial few issues with our room, we were moved to another room which suited our requirements. Ivan was really helpful and professional. Following this our stay was excellent, breakfast great, brilliant location and all staff lovely. Would stay again 100%.

Nothing specific to complain, great area, great design, but you can get a same sized room in the same area (without the interior design) for half the price
