A beautiful hotel with 130 years of history and in an excellent location. The room is large and beautifully decorated. The staff is great, they are always very friendly and helpful. The service is very good. The breakfast in a large, traditional restaurant is plentiful and good.

We have stayed here many time because it is a beautiful building in an excellent location. The general staff are outstanding and the food and rooms are amazing. Unfortunately the front desk is just not the same as the rest of the experience. When I wrote in to ask for an early check in I got no reply- on my arrival I asked about this and was told because I got no reply that means it’s fine. I find this odd as I explained that we were arriving after a three part flight over 18 hours. We have stayed here at least 3 other times and my comment for each time would be pretty much the same - I feel the front desk could do better to Mach their rest of the experience.

A great hotel. Great location on the Marine Drive. The only problem was the service in the Veranda restuarant which was very bad Otherwise a n enjoyable stay.

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of days. It was a nice stay. Only thing that let it down was having kids asking us for money during our dinner. Couldn't understand why security let them in and then took so long to get rid of them. Rooms very lovely though and so was the food.

This hotel is tired and in need of an overhaul. Our room was supposed to be standard, hardly any view. The WC takes a while to fill and the plumbing does make a noise in the middle of the night. Most of the staff are quite helpful. The breakfast frenzy starts at 7 am but coffee not ready and tea urn cold. Lunch and snacks on the Verandah were good.

Like home but this time very disappointed
We stay here regularly however we were put in a room where there was a light outside that kept the room like daylight at night. Disappointing stay and even after my husband complained at 2am, management did not offer us any compensation / option.
In saying that, we will always stay here but not in that room.
