+ I was received warmly by all staff, who were attentive, and responded quickly to my requests. The room was comfortable and functionable, the bathhromm was quite excellent and large for a smaller room. Breakfast was excellent, but they did not have any sausages[shame] but did offer extra bacon to compensate for this.
− Although the room was comfortable and clean, it could do with some bottled water to drink if required. The main concern was the noise of the kitchen either the cooling fans, or refridgeration, or air con. which could be disruptive if you don't carry ear plugs

+ Friendly and helpful staff, particularly upon arrival. Upgrade to a better room Bathroom with bath & shower Complimentary biscuits, tea and coffee Pleasant bar with reasonably priced food. Breakfast very good with hot and cold choices Parking on site Handy for Old Town
− Nespresso coffee machine not puncturing capsules properly - hence took 5 runs to get cup of coffee Curtain rings reluctant to slide on pole making opening and closing curtains difficult ( needs a spray of polish) Unable to open Window Sink: hot tap not working, cold very low pressure as not opening properly. Plug chain broken No bathmat so had to use a hand towel Shower gel dispenser in shower full but could not dispense
