Tivoli Hotel

Tivoli Hotel

8/10 Good
"Always find a bit of a problem with the room bar, teas and coffees. It HAS improved from the paper cups as there 8s now a designated hot cup. But they really dont top it up well. I had 2 red wines, no white. One diet coke. And no tea/coffee or mini bar top up when I had requested it. It's an amazing hotel! We LOVE it! Bit just wish they could tweak the only thing you are left with when you close the door!"
