Incredible birthday night away, got two free drinks for the occasion for the hotel bar BABA, as well as the lovely woman on check-in who gave us an upgraded room for the occasion. I don’t remember her name but she was working on 20/06 and was so lovely and helpful. Had a slight leak with the A/C which didn’t bother us at all, but it was immediately fixed whilst we were popped out for the evening and two gin and tonics were left for us on our return. Lovely food and drinks, beautiful hotel no complaints at all. Also check out in 12 so no rushing at all. 5 Stars all round.

We came here on our babymoon and it was just what we needed. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful if they tried - anything we asked for they helped us with. I’ve been struggling with sleep and they delivered more pillows to our room, they were informative about the area and were really helpful with whatever we asked them for. The location is excellent, just around the corner from George Street which was great for shopping and having a slow mooch and coffee.
