The staff were very helpful but the hotel generally requires a bit of TLC as it was a bit tired and dated. It is in an excellent location and the staff were excellent but the place needs a tidy to bring it to the required standard to justify the price level

A good hotel to stay in for exploring. The hotel is going through some redecorating but could really do with a full program of renovation.
