5. The only positive things I have to say about this hotel is that it would probably be nice if it were for a couple on a getaway or even a couple of young guys who don't plan on being in their hotel room that often.

6. A big positive for this hotel - as with a lot of Kimptons - is that the staff are very nice, and we found the Spanish receptionist (who I think was called Cecile) extremely helpful and accommodating.
