The good part about this hotel? The lovely facade, especially illuminated by night. The letdown? - everything else! The rooms are functional but characterless - don't think that you are getting any of the charm of the original building in the bedrooms. Our room was grubby - a plastic clothes tag on the floor (in the middle of the room) when we arrived was still there two days later. The bathroom was, frankly, grimy. As for the breakfast - well, I can only think that the kitchen manager (I can't bring myself to say, 'chef') has been planted by a rival hotel to bring down the business - or that s/he has been so worn down by economy that s/he's given up. The breakfast (at £15 per head) was a disgrace. More like a bucketshop package holiday than a luxury weekend. The only compliment I can pay is to the nice porter who helped with the keycard failures and the malfunctioning kettle.
