Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Hotel is lovely, in a really nice location. Front door welcome staff were excellent. Room was clean & spacious with nice bathroom facilities. Breakfast staff were very nice.
Negative: Check in was chaotic. Only 2 staff members checking in very large groups of people. Took us 30 mins to get served for check in. Multiple rooms were not ready for check in time and guests were told to sit in bar... The Spa is not accessible to guests until 5pm. This was very disappointing. We weren't told this at check in. Breakfast was not ready at the start time. No food in the buffet. Had to wait a long time before being able to have the hot food.
Summary: Good, but not a 5 star experience
