Positive section of review

The staff are amazingly helpful, and they will do whatever they can to make your stay better. The hotel is beautiful, a great mix of a historic building with modern decor. The room is filled with modern luxuries and is very clean. The bed was very comfortable and I got a great night's sleep. The breakfast was brilliant with a all you can eat made to order menu. And last but nog least, the location was perfect!

Negative section of review

I am really nit picking because there wasn't anything that bothered me. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays but there are plenty of options within walking distance. There is no lift once the front desk is closed for the night but they did make this clear in the booking request.
