a perfect getaway

beautiful decor comfortable bed quality linen convenient location
the room was beautifully decorated. comfortable beds featured quality linen. the bathroom included upmarket toiletries. (i particularly loved the hand soaps!) the location proved convenient, only a short walk from the city centre.
The corridors felt a bit narrow. Passing others on the stairwells required some maneuvering.
Dining
9/10
the wine bar downstairs provided a lively atmosphere. food was available there. i received good advice about local breakfast spots. (exploring them became a highlight!)

mixed experience due to facility issues

slow television derelict buildings
the recently refurnished room was acceptable with a comfortable bed.
the television was difficult it was slow to respond and froze often when using the guide. no bin liners were present in any of the bins i encountered. furthermore the derelict buildings adjacent to the hotel felt both unsightly and posed a potential security risk.
