The hotel is stunning and the location is great for getting around the city. The a/c didn’t work as the heating is now on for winter. Our room on the 6th floor was really hot but, the maintenance team did provide a fan to help. Breakfast was abit limited and the quality of meat a very thick bacon was very fatty. Some of the concierge knowledge on public transport was a little sketchy but, we found our way with a map and google. Lots of bars and restaurants on the doorstep which is great at night if you don’t want to venture too far at night. The robes provided are perfect for the spa & the mini bar is great if you arrive in the evening before you can get to a shop for provisions.

Air conditioning does not work and the rooms are too hot. Nothing could be done about it and I notice from other reviews that this is not a new issue. The towels are very thin and worn Otherwise a great hotel but when you can’t sleep because it’s too hot (in October) then it spoils the holiday
