    The best part of our unforgettable stay was the freshly cooked and wonderful breakfast with hot dishes and both cooked options, for example. Air-conditioned double room was a highlight for us. The location was magnificent, a 10-15 minute walking distance from a resplendent monument.

    We stayed in the a double room and appreciated it. Coffee & tea making machines and a refrigerator were a plus. The staff was very friendly and caring on arrival and throughout the stay. The location was wonderful, really close to St Nicholas' Church. There was a fabulous restaurant within a close distance from the hotel.

    excellent breakfast

    Perfect for a quick escape

    The staff were helpful. Like, they made parking easy, no hassle at all! The breakfast was great. I had the full English, and let me tell you, it hit the spot.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but with the experience I had, it felt fair enough.

    Couldn't recommend more for a relaxing holiday

    Charming decor, modern amenities, the rooms were beautifully designed with a rich historical backdrop, and the bar/lounge area was a cute spot to unwind after a day of exploration. Plus, we were delighted to find a convenient parking option behind the hotel.

    No complaints whatsoever.

    charming building
    friendly staff
    cozy bar area
    overcooked steaks

    Great location and vibe!

    Really loved the spot! The building has a nice charm, and the staff were super friendly. But man, getting hit with £20 for parking when you're already paying £250 a night kinda stings. Ate at the restaurant, but they seriously overcooked our steaks and the sides were cold. Not what we expected! Still, had a cozy bar area.

    A Nice Anniversary Celebration

    We had an amazing anniversary dinner on the evening of September 22nd at Marco Pierre White's restaurant. The friendly staff, and Julie, the night maid, was especially good. Her warm personality and knowledge of the hotel were a highlight of our stay. Highly recommend the cocktails at the bar!

    The accessible room was well-equipped with a roll-in shower and a raised toilet. Amazing bathroom amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and free toiletries. The fitness centre was a nice perk for keeping active. Great bar with a solid drink selection. Perfect spot to explore nearby attractions like the cathedral.

    Fine breakfast in the Marco Pierre White restaurant.

    Finding somewhere to chat with friends proved problematic due to limited seating options.

    birthday surprise
    rooftop view
    relaxing spa
    poor room lighting

    We celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here, and the hotel surprised us with festive decorations for our dinner, making the night special. There’s a stunning rooftop view and a relaxing spa that really helped us unwind. The room lighting could be better, but it didn't take away from our awesome experience overall. 🥰
