Positive: Beautiful and unique building. Bit of a maze to navigate at first but that is part of the charm. Great room, felt very private. Location is prime with views of the cathedral and right in the city centre.
Negative: Only tiny complaint is curtains wouldn’t close fully which let in light earlier than we’d have liked.
Summary: Excellent. Recommended!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful Building. Great Location. Comfy beds.
Negative: TV in the room didn't work. Mentioned this to staff at 11am and came back to the room for siesta around 3.30pm and no one had been to the room so instead of being able to chill out we had people in the room looking at tv and eventually moving us. We were given 2 drinks vouchers for the inconvenience which was a welcome considering the bar prices. The main lamp in the second room didn't work. Both rooms were 'cathedral view'. First room was view was fine but the second room windows had constant condensation so couldn't see a thing. Towels were also tatty. All of these things are fairly trivial but given the cost of the stay (over £350 per night) it wasn't good enough.
Summary: Decent but not on par with other hotel stays of similar value.
