Luxurious Comfort

The Georgian Suite we stayed in was truly a treat. It felt like a home away from home with its spacious layout, plush furnishings, and thoughtful touches like complimentary GHD straighteners. The mattress was wonderfully comfortable and ensured a great night's sleep.

I had an incredible stay at Tigerlily, where the atmosphere was vibrant and the décor was absolutely unique. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was genuinely one of the best I've had in a hotel.

Our stay at the hotel was memorable, with spacious rooms and an excellent breakfast that truly stood out. The modern, stylish decor created a lovely atmosphere, but the lively bar made relaxation more challenging than we expected. While we enjoyed the overall experience, it felt less like a traditional hotel stay and more like a boutique space with limited communal areas for unwinding.
