We stayed at this location in April 2024 and have just returned home. Everything about this hotel has been fantastic. The staff from housekeeping, to restaurant, to reception did their very best to make us feel at home. Travelling with children is always hard, but we received all the best care. The concierge desk deserve their own post as they decided where we went outside the hotel and were very informative, and helpful. Kenneth from the concierge, thank you for all that you did for us. Many thanks from Zeljka and Dragan, London Read less
