the bed had springs and squeaked every time you changed position
the 2nd floor bar area was closed for renovation. That was our favorite spot the last time we were here

What I could see of the hotel was lovely, historic and quite well maintained.
The bed was very comfortable and the room "a historic king" was well designed.
The domestic staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and good at their job.
The staff on the main floor while we were there were pairs of young girls who didn't seem at all interested in serving an elder, Englishwoman. I booked the hotel as a birthday treat for my partner, I asked if it could be as special as possible. Our room 427, was at the back of the hotel, about 8 feet from a brick building with a window that was so filthy that you could barely see the empty building during the day, only when its' lights were on during the night. No-one had looked at my booking and chosen my room type that had an outside window or was special. We also wanted to book dinner in the restaurant. We were told the whole mezzanine floor was closed for building work. This wasn't on the website at all when I booked. We went out to dinner instead to Gina's (excellent place). We were given two bottles of beer as a courtesy gesture to make up for the restaurant not being available, except when we got to our room with no view there wasn't a bottle opener. The maid got us one and sorted out other things in the room. Breakfast was disappointing, plastic cups and a limited menu, the food was good but we had to go up to the bar and order then display our numbered wooden spoon so the waitress knew where to bring the food.
When we checked out we were charged for extras hat we didn't have, when I told the pair of girls on reception that I was disappointed with the room she said that there wasn't a view from the hotel as it was only 5 stories high. Surely the historic buildings outside the hotel, or even the sunshine would have made our stay more special. She suggested that if I wanted a better stay I come back after October when the building work should be finished.
I think the desk staff could do with more training.
