OkayOct. 20194.2
The bar was ok but small for the size of the hotel. The back door to Waverley train station.
The room was very disappointing for the price, which was expensive, as it was a Master Suite. No bathrobes or slippers in room, had to ring reception for them. Wardrobe too small. View was rubbish as there wasn't one & we were on 9th floor. Room was very bland, no personality, needed pictures with colours on walls. It was a 60th Birthday weekend & were told a card would be in room but we're still waiting for it! Breakfast disappointing. We've had better in a 3 Star hotel! We would not stay there again.

The room was immensely comfortable for our time spent. We particularly enjoyed filtering our coffee in the morning ha.
