Great Hotel
Fantastic hotel and service- we arrived without luggage and they were able to provide essentials like toothbrush for us.
Great place would definitely like to stay again and would recommend.
Roof top pool and bar is particularly nice.

Not the same?
I have been coming to The Palace for about 10yrs for work. This time the service was not the same: breakfast drinks almost non-existent, reception failed to make reservation for restaurant and overall standard helfullness of some of the staff was poor. Will probably look elsewhere for next year.

Have stayed here several times . Good location . Excellent rooftop pool and Fusion restaurant . Very good breakfast with wide choice. All staff extremely friendly and professional. Complimentary upgrade to a suite on top floor which was lovely and spacious but needs some updating and more clothes storage . Shower leaked and flooded floor every time making floor dangerously slippy . Would stay here again

Friendly and helpful staff - upgraded my room, which was fabulous. Nicely away from main streets so quiet at night, but close enough to be everywhere in minutes.

Excellent stay
I was feeling sick when we arrived earlier than check in time and the manager went out of her way to get a room cleaned so we could check in early. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff were all very nice. The only thing I would recommend is a more pro-active approach to anticipating our needs for dinner reservations and marking different attractions on the map so we know where to go. Also, there was a wedding on the floor above and the music was blasting for hours.

Not a five star but a four star hotel. Clean and spacious room. Staff all very friendly and helpful. No advance warning of major roadworks outside hotel but these have all been completed now. Didn’t really bother us as out all day anyway.

2nd visit, lovely stay but not as 5* as 1st time
Had a lovely stay at the hotel, is ideally located for everything, did feel that the need to look at refurbishing parts like the carpets in the hallway, curtains had some marks on which you don't expect. The indoor pool ceiling was covered in mould, maybe it is on the to do list but needs addressing. However the staff are amazing and would do anything for you. The temptation restaurant is a must for anyone as the food is delightful and again staff were so attentive. The noise outside with the road renovations was not welcomed as we were there for a relaxing break but this cannot be controlled by the hotel, wish we had known about this before booking.
