Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Big room with ensuite toilet for our family of 5. Aesthetically pleasing decor. Nice water pressure and hot shower.
Negative: The TV didn't work. Would have loved to watch some British TV programmes over the festive X'mas season. Very small and slow lift.

Positive: Great location for New Years with a bar downstairs and a short 5 min walk to see the Fireworks over the castle. Had a single room it was very spacious and clean
Negative: I came back to my room one afternoon and my door was open. The cleaners had been in and not shut the door properly and took the spare key i had in the room. Whilst nothing was taken, it was unnerving when travelling alone and having cards and passport in your room to come back and find it hadn't been secured properly. I did go downstairs to let reception know, and although she was lovely there really wasn't a lot of care for the fact I voiced my concern and annoyance at the situation.
