An overall great stay, will go back
The breakfast wasn't great, especially the coffee, which was burnt. The hotel isn't heated, so you have to ask for a portable heater, but I think adding an electric heater to each room should work. Other than that, it was an amazing stay, great comfortable bed, in a striking décor and architecture. The staff were lovely!

Over priced sun standard rooms
On arrival entering the room, it was freezing due to the windows all been left open (it was minus temps out side). Trying to get the heating to work it wouldn't. When going back to reception they then offered us another room, when entering the room I discovered people where already staying in that room, so had to head back to reception to ask for another room. On been allocated a third room as both me and my wife where so tired we excepted, how ever the room had a small bed the carpet was lifting in placed there was mold around bath. The condition of the room was generally tired with paint falling off. In all the hotel was very tired and no worth the money paid for it

Beautiful place and location, rooms need some TLC
Please was beautiful, staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely but lighting is a bit of an issue, quite dark in the rooms. The rooms could do with a bit of TLC, they are a bit tired looking. The jacuzzi bath wasn't very clean when we arrived and when we uses the jets, a load of gunk came out from stagnant water, which would suggest it's not used frequently and they don't do regular cleaning/maintenance. Overall though, was a lovely stay.

Unexpected Treat
It was lovely and what a special treat having a jacuzz in the room. What more could you want! Oh yeah! Hot drink in the late night bar would've been nice.

Unfortunately there was an event on and the morning after rigging/ Camara crew were so noisy in for breakfast Restaurant staff were inexperienced and why have spoons left in mugs that are taken from the table filled then brought back with spoons still left in them, food mediocre and lukewarm On check in put monies on room but at the small bar the bar staff could not work till so I paid with card and then on check out reception tried to make me pay again for the drinks. It was only when I showed him on my phone that the money had been taken from my account and wanted to speak to a manager that he conceded. All round I think there is a need for some training/retraining in some areas. Not one of our best stays.

Disappointing stay at a place we used to love
When we checked in, the bbc were filming in the lobby. We were made to feel very uncomfortable from the start with staff stopping our taxi driving to the hotel entrance to drop us off and reception staff said we couldnt check in early and we had to plead with the rude receptionist to allow us to leave our bags so that we could go into town for a few hours and return later. The other staff later in the day were nicer but she was very unpleasant. The filming was happening regularly so we had to be silent whenever near reception. Our room at a glance looked great. Very spacious. But the lighting was poor, very dark with only 2 dim spotlights in opposite corners for light. The bed was a small double, it was a squash for two average height, average weight people. The worst part was how cold the room was. The thermostat kept defaulting to 17, i had to get up multiple times during the night to adjust it as it was freezing. The bathroom fan was not working and as a result there was a lot of damp on the ceiling. Overall a very disappointing stay as the place has real sentimental value to us as a couple but this stay was not to our expectations. We were made to feel unwelcome for the majority of the stay.
