For one reason I wouldn’t come back to this hotel - room is like a steam room, heating is running all the time. And for what ever reason staff can not turned it off. Couldn’t sleep all night.

Lovely hotel, very central, great breakfast and the bar is also lovely. Room a little too warm for me even with heating off and window open but that’s personal preference. Overall we had a really good stay and would come again.
