The room was beautiful, a very comfy bed, aircon was a bonus in the middle of August. The breakfast was great and it was a perfect location for sightseeing. I message the hotel before arrival to ensure there would be a bed and they were very quick to reply. We would love to stay again!

One of the best places Ive stayed in

Absolutely amazing stay. The hotel is one of the best Ive stayed in. Everyone is so lovely and helpful. Second to none for public transport. The bed is one of the most comfortable. But its the view that takes it all the way to the top of the list. Im regretting only staying one night to break up my journey home.
