delicious breakfast added mushrooms sun terrace
The breakfast was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the added mushrooms. I had tofu, roast tomatoes, spinach, and large field mushrooms on sourdough. The sun terrace IS a real gem.
I noticed that some high rise office blocks overlooked the hotel.

nearby parking limited character
my stay began promisingly the staff seemed attentive and the breakfast offered a decent selection. however, the lack of nearby parking became a real issue. lugging luggage from a distance was inconvenient especially after a long journey. additionally the breakfast if not included felt overpriced considering the limited character of the dining area.

charming stay!
spacious room friendly staff
the room was lovely and very spacious! it also included really good facilities. all the staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
the curtains had come off hooks in places. the shower trap was not very clean. sorting these issues would enhance the guest experience.
