Lovely room, very well equipped. Only negative, shower water pressure not very good. Hotel offers excellent amenities, loved the honesty bar for those who don’t wish to venture out of an evening. Breakfast in the morning was superb, amazing selection of continental products and the cooked offering was delicious.
