amazing stay!
helpful staffgreat viewexcellent locationsealed window
the staff were helpful i had great views over the race course the hotel sorted heating quickly it was a simple fix really the room was great. the toilet needed bleach under the rim i could see that it was a minor thing but it needed attention. the hotel location is really fantastic it is just excellent.
the windows didn't open i wanted some fresh air it felt stuffy the spacious room was great but without fresh air it felt sealed. i would have loved the option of some fresh air especially at night to cool down the room a bit.

Disappointing Room and Service
humming noiselimited options
The room was not what I expected. I booked a room with a view, but it faced an inner courtyard. There was also a constant humming noise throughout the night that was quite disruptive. The hotel bar closed early despite advertised hours, disappointing and left me with limited options for an evening drink. Continental breakfast was not great either. I asked for croissant and toast, but only got croissant and yogurt.

ideal locationefficient staffmissing tablegrubby curtains
The location of this hotel is ideal. It is a short walk into the city centre for shops, restaurants, and the cathedral. The staff at reception were VERY cute. They were also efficient during check-in.
My room was not perfect. There was no table available for the kettle, so I had to put it on the floor. The TV offered only terrestrial channels, disappointing. I also noticed the curtains looked a little grubby.
