The hotel location was very convenient and it offered lovely views. My standard room had an ironing board, an iron, and a fan and I found lots of coat hangers which was great. I enjoyed the hotel breakfast, as it was nice and beautiful. The building period features were amazing to observe.

faulty radiatorbad draughts
My stay experienced considerable issues. the room's radiator did not function when i arrived, therefore the room remained cold, especially given the snowy weather outside. draughts from the windows were also a problem. I had to shut the curtains immediately in an attempt to retain some warmth. these conditions resulted in a poor night's sleep due to the low temperature.

I secured a reasonably priced room. It even had a jacuzzi and offered sea views. the building itself is grand, especially with christmas decorations! i found out the hard way, do not put bubble bath in the jacuzzi. It creates quite the bubbly situation.
