I think it was down to my chronic pain why I felt the bed was a little uncomfortable. Amazing beautiful decor and staff attentive and helpful. Amazing gluten free breakfast far too much so next time I will ask for less. One of the best gluten free breakfasts Imo highly recommend

Arrival was swift and easy, then shown to room in building next door, which wasn't a problem. Room 17 pretty small, small bathroom and sink in the bedroom. All looked clean and tidy apart from the seat at the desk and the information booklet which both need attention.

Not the best night sleep

The room was relatively comfortable but street facing so I was kept awake by people racing motorbikes on a Saturday night on the street outside which wasn't great (this would be worse on a bit day if you needed to keep window open) The room was also very small, I literally couldn't open my suitcase which for the price wasn't great (though I appreciate it was Great north run weekend so prices are higher). Toilet was also very loud. On the plus side the staff were friendly, well located for great north run finish.

It is obvious that this family has had 5-star hotel experience. The room was beautiful, clean, and well-appointed. The food choices were myriad for breakfast, and I could see why the people of the city go there for breakfast, brunch, coffee, and lunch. The staff were friendly, and expeditious.
