A traveler said he gave the hotel five stars because their staff are the "friendliest helpful" anyone could get as they "[go through the] extra mile of making our time there so enjoyable."
Travelers also praised the hotel for its "very chic and relaxing" decor while being the counterpoint of the city's Cathedral Quarter. Newsletter UK said the hotel "blends stunning Edwardian architecture" combined with "exceeding the contemporary needs and desires of its guests," a formula for success indeed.
Bishop's Gate Operator Ciaran O' Neill -- speaking to Newsletter UK -- added that the staff prioritizes providing a "genuine welcome" and are committed to "delivering the best accommodation, food and service."
