The staff in this hotel are faultless. From the front desk, to the concierge team (credit to Craig) to the room service team. They make for a truly homely experience. Five stars all round.

Beautiful property, comfy bed, lovely room and great bathroom spotlessly clean. Could be hot and stuffy in summer as there’s no air con or any ventilation in room (save a window that does open) Checkout was terribly slow. They had only one staff member on front desk at a peak time in the morning and a long queue.

Overall lovely hotel great location but probably wouldn’t stay here again. Very disappointed with layout very confusing to get to our room. Spent a lot of time each time figuring it out terribly confusing. Would be just awful for older guests. Also a bit pricey.
