We only stayed for one night and didn't have the opportunity to try their evening menu since we were attending a black-tie event. However, judging by the quality of breakfast, I'm confident that the meals, if prepared to the same standard, would merit a return visit.
On arrival, the bustling restaurant clearly signalled its popularity. Despite being busy, the reception staff were warm and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect - a commendable quality also found in the dining room staff next day.
If you're seeking the silence of double-glazed windows in a stark, modern room, this hotel may not be for you. However, if you appreciate rooms decorated in harmony with their historical context but equipped with modern amenities like excellent showers and a very comfortable bed, then you've made a smart choice. Additionally, this establishment shuns the usual cheap sachets of coffee and long-life milk, opting instead for individual miniature bottles of fresh milk in your room's fridge and a pukka gen coffee machine, complete with a selection of coffee pods.
I know it’s the trend to find something to complain about, but I found none; even a 5:30 am fire alarm was reassuring in a way as it indicated that in the event of a real fire, the staff would ensure everyone's safety.
To conclude, this is a charming historical building managed by devoted staff, whose primary aim is to make your stay as pleasant as possible. If you find yourself in the area, this place is a definite gem.
