Great location
We managed to get ac working in day, but on the night it wouldn't work and room was boiling. Also parking needs to be a little more clear, as they discount at ncp, but not the one nearest hotel, so cost a fortune. Think for price breakfast should be Inc

This is an amazingly beautiful property and I selected it for that reason and its location. But it was the staff -- every single person I interacted with -- were outstanding. I was pleased over and over again when I asked a question or for assitance.
Sorry. Absolutely nothing.

Exceptional hotel reception hall is beautiful rooms are impressive comfortable surroundings great hotel for a variety of activities
Unfortunately we were upgraded and was appreciated as our first visit the room was impressive comfortable but we found out later the trains are very loud noisy and the building rumbles as it next door literally so last train I think was nearly midnight and next must of been 5am roughly so not much sleep could also do with a fan in the room we did mention this at reception the lady said sorry and hoped we have a safe journey home next time will ask for a different room

Pleasant
room, food - all was pretty good. and very friendly staff
Noise cancellation/soundproofing – The noise from adjacent rooms is very noticeable, and even people walking outside or housekeeping working in nearby rooms can be clearly heard. It’s probably the worst soundproofing I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. Because of this overall rating low - else pretty good

This hotel is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fabulous. There are lots of nice touches- eg fresh milk in room, social hour in bar. The gym is well equipped.
Can’t think of anything

Great experience all round - the staff were very helpful, the rooms were great, the bars were ace and the breakfast excellent.
The card switch on entry for powering up the room was intermittent.
