When we arrived a receptionist was busy with a card machine and told us "won't keep you a sec" then proceeded to talk to a colleague about whatever the issue with the machine was. We were eventually served a by another receptionist who had been on the phone.
We had a suite, which was very nice, the bathroom was nearly as big as the bedroom. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The shower consisted of mixer taps on the bath, but this was not a problem. The radiator in the room was not on, but on opening the wardrobe doors, there was heat coming from there from the pipes inside the wardrobes, and as we did not want to complain, we thought that made the room warm enough, although when the radiator did work on the second day, there was a vast difference in the room temperature.
The suite was placed on a small landing and accessible up a small flight of stair and a landing door. We found it very difficult to sleep on both nights due to other guest noisly tramping up and down the stairs and banging the landing door, which was almost outside our suite. A notice on the door reminding guests to be considerate to other guests and closing door quietly may alleviate the problem, but all in all the location of the room is not great.
The main problem was the lack of hot water. I had a bath on Sautrday eveing and my husband went to run it again, but the water was cold. I called reception who told us the manager was very busy witha "murder mystery evening" and would not be able to sort in out straight away, hence not a happy husband who had to go out on Sat evening without having had a bath. When we arrived back after an eveing out, we were told the problem was fixed. A bath was run, which was at best lukewarm and the water then turned to cold.
The breakfasts were very good, apart from being served a pot of cold coffee on the firts monring and when I asked for a fresh hot pot, it did not materialise and I had to ask again.
In my opinion, the hotel is not a 4 star, some of the staff are in need of customer service training and the lack of hot water means I will not be recommending the hotel to family and freinds, which is a shame as the hotel is in a good spot for sightseeing.
