The hotel is in a great location and has excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. The staff is friendly. Unfortunately the hotel is in need of major repairs. We cut our stay short due to a lack of air conditioning in all four of our rooms.

The hotel still has the charm . The doormen make it , dressed the part and charming . The rooms are now shabby ,dirty , grouting all black in bathroom , bedroom walls are mouldy and the carpets need ripping out . 3 star at best The sun loungers poolside have nice thick mattress on so comfort exceeds the Kingsbury and cinnamon lakeside as we have stayed in all three this trip .

Staff was very courteous but the hallways on the 4 th floor were dilapidated and in need of serious repairs. It’s a beautiful location and a grand colonial hotel which is a national treasure. It’s sad that the rooms and plumbing are in pretty bad shape. I would love to stay there again provided the bathrooms, tge plumbing and the hallway conditions are improved

Room had bugs, feels like you're in the 1800s. I only stayed for one day and checked out, and asked for a cancellation of the second day but they didn't allow it for some reason. I didn't even stay the second day. Would not recommend. Food was great though.

The room was clean. Bathroom and room fixtures and fittings need urgent updating. Electrical points, switches, shower were found wanting. The wooden floors in the corridors were in places in a state of disrepair. The hotel still retains its old charm and the staff are pleasant and I was impressed with the service provided.

Excellent Staff and food but the hotel is in some serious need of renovations. The owner needs to really step up and start directing some money and attention to this once great building. I was honestly surprised how poor the rooms are with damp smell, water penetration, blistering paintwork and black mold on the air conditioning ducts. Sorry not I do not recommend staying here sadly.

This is far from a 4* hotel. The property is VERY run down and so many things are broken. It needs urgent repairs but nobody seems to be bothered. Staff at check in were not bothered at all, take it or leave it attitude. The doorman/porter was the only nice person. Check-in was at 2pm I arrived at 5pm waited for a hour and my room was still not ready. After 2 hours still nothing but nobody was bothered, so I went elsewhere. Overall worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in
