Prince's Gate Hotel

Prince's Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in an apartment in an adjacent building. The decor was vibrant and colorful in a style perhaps reminiscent of the 1920's. It was spacious, comfortable, and quiet. The location was convenient, walkable to shops and restaurants. The buffet breakfast was okay, but not remarkable. The breakfast room got very noisy with the clatter of dishes when the employees started setting up the tables for the lunch service and clearing away breakfast items. This happened all three days we were there. This probably could have been done more quietly if the employees had sufficient training."
