This was not our first time here but it will be our last. The check in experience was slow and impersonal and the young man who checked us in was scruffy, glum and detached and lacked interpersonal skills. Our room was freezing cold and we had also requested a parking spot at the time of booking. We were told that we hadn’t done this. Yet in our notes in our booking it was clear. Yet, the scruffy man argued the point regardless of being shown it in our booking.

The room was clean. We did try to get a drink at 2.50 pm but licensing prevented this as the school is next door. We went down the road to a nice beer garden. Something has changed about the Convent in our last couple of stays. We cant quite work out on what it is but we have decided we will look at alternative stays in future.

The room we stayed in was tiny; a bit like a Paris hotel bedroom in size. Parking was good. It is at the rear of the property and felt secluded. Unfortunately the restaurant and bar were closed the night we stayed which made for a dull lifeless atmosphere in the hotel. I would be inclined to stay here again because the building is interesting, but I'd take a larger room and would check to see if the restaurant was open.

A pleasant enough hotel & very different from the norm - less sophisticated and more relaxed and casual in its approach to guests. Regrettably, I was not told in advance that its excellently rated restaurant would be closed for the duration of my stay - so no breakfast or even fresh coffee. I think my room must have been a nun’s cell; it was very cramped with nowhere, other than the bed, to sit. At least there was Netflix!

Drinks in a Convent?

Lovely and interesting hotel, with plenty of period pieces in the decoration. Room was quiet and nice. Only two things affected my stay negatively. One was the limited heating in the room. The outside temperature was about 12C and it felt the same in the room probably due to a lack of thermal insulation. The tiny wall heater seemed to me competing against the central AC and wasn't effective. I would not want to be there on a really cold night. The other problem was to do with the drink service. We met in the bar at around 4:30 pm only to be refused service because of the limited liquor licence. Similarly when we returned from our evening function, we were again refused service. The hotel should be able to serve drinks to its guests.

Nice stay for a weekend trip

Stayed in town to do a course study over the weekend. I liked the vibe of the hotel, very chic and hip. Was great to just sit at the bar, with my notes and have a drink with dinner, and the hotel restaurant was very relaxing. As a seasoned traveler, I will say the portions/quality for the price of the food - were not the best. I enjoyed the evening, either way in the atmosphere. My room was very nice. Comfy bed, didn't have to beg for pillows - or extra linens, plenty of them! Lovely closet space for keeping my outfits fresh for classes. Shower had great water pressure, and space. but - the drain and floor vent - smelled absolutely foul. And the floor was not clean. I had to keep the door shut both nights. Otherwise, it was quite cozy. Perfect place to come back after a long day, chill out and study. I'd stay here again. With a note to the cleaning staff, that the baths need an orange zest for the floor drains. Nice vibes and quiet for the solo trip.

This a stylish hotel. It is, indeed, a former convent. It was empty for some years, after which it was renovated and turned into a hotel. The decor plays with Christian themed art a bit. I liked it a lot, but it might not be for everyone. The rooms were spotless, the staff was friendly. The hotel hosts an outstanding restaurant, which is a separate business from the hotel itself. The area around the hotel, is not touristy. There is a bunch of car dealerships and other non-touristy stores around. The restaurants and cafes are about 20 minutes walk away.

Hmmm...comfy bed

Unfortunately the first hiccup was I had to go and ask for towels as not a single one had we been given.
The room is decorated with a view to the ex convent that it is. So the bedside tables are very basic rusty things. One wall is decorated as though it were a poor nun's with deliberate peeled paint. We were in room four which has a wet room for the bathroom so consequently the whole floor gets wet.
The worst thing though was the room was far too hot with no means of regulating it.
We didn't eat here
They don't do breakfast.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. The design of this hotel is gorgeous and the rooms and common areas are decorated very nicely. I stayed one night in the smallest room offered and found the bed and bathroom comfortable. A few small adjustments would make the space a little easier to navigate - for example, I had to unplug one of the side lamps and put it in the wardrobe so that I was able to move out the nightstand to plug in my cell phone. There was a large decorative pillow, but no place to put it when the bed was in use, other than the floor. I was surprised that the bathroom lacked tissues and would have appreciated more hooks to hang towels in or near the shower.
