The hotel and the staff are excellent, my only complaint was with the air conditioning which was not working and the room would get very hot and made it difficult to sleep. The staff tried to do everything possible to accommodate us but the problem could be solved, besides this issue I fully recommend this hotel. The hotel is great, it does make you feel you are in a castle, the staff is magnificent, they really go out of their way to serve you in every way possible.

We had a good stay. We were upgraded to a suite which gave us more space however the location of our room was near a street and parking garage which got noisy overnight. We enjoyed the walk and views along the river. Just over 3km from city centre to walk. The breakfast was excellent staff were friendly and helpful. My only critique is that the mattress was very firm. We noticed on our last day an option to put a cover over the mattress to make it softer. Look in the top of the closet and ask staff to remake your bed when you arrive.

The property has a good view of the river and has good amenities. To reach the main centre either you take a bus or taxi or walk 45 mins by the side of Druro river which is scenic. The property is more for events than for tourists. One set back for the property is that to go to the dining space you may have to take a route outside the property. This can be an issue if its raining or not so good weather.

Beautiful property in a lovely city that is a 4-5 star. However let down by its breakfasts and morning staff. Very poor quality breakfast buffet that often ‘ran out’ and we were only advised on our last day that there was actually a ‘hot’ menu we could order from. Seemed to have there better/different staff on the Friday who actually knew what they were doing. Shame as the hotel itself is stunning.
