Lovely, grand hotel. Rooms are a bit dated, and fresh, lighter coloured furniture would be preferred. Bed was very comfy. Shower screens rather than shower curtains would be preferred. Nice touch to have biscuits and water in the room. If fridges were added to the rooms, that would be good too. Lovely lobby, bar and restaurant area. Breakfast was brilliant and the scrambled eggs were delicious and golden! The smoothies and yoghurt granola pots were great too. Hotel is in a great location and easily accessible by public transport and close to the RDS. Definately recommend this hotel.

Room was clean and staff friendly. Was told we were being given an upgrade, but there was nothing special about the room. It was on the 'executive' floor but there were no difference in the amenities, no robes, slippers etc - all basic but fine. Bed was very firm and pillow way too big and hard. Breakfast lovely but room very busy.
