A lovely hotel in a great location. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in room 9, which was a very large room just for 1 person. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and had great views. The only downside was it wasn't en-suite, but there were 3 shared bathrooms close by to this room. Breakfast in the morning was in the bistro downstairs. There was plenty of seating, the staff were friendly and the breakfast selection was great (I enjoyed the big breakfast). I would stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
