4/10 Fair

Not so Premium
Premium room with Balcony. Great location and views, but that’s about all. Nice enough B&B (not really a hotel). £250 per night would be £80 if not for view. 2 sleepless nights due to basic bedding…. slatted bed frame with a 10cm mattress which was harder than the floor. Style but no substance sadly. Other than a coffee machine in room, I could see no Premium additions?

Breakfast buffet was ok, eggs were always luke warm at best. The bed was okay, pillow’s were not good. Woke up each morning with a crick in my neck. Public transportation was excellent and the hotel will give you a pass for the day if you want.

Expensive View.
The location has the best view. The room for what we paid was expensive and very small. Breakfast was included but parking was quite a ways away and was expensive. They did provide a discounted voucher but not by much.
