The boutique hotel was lovely, clean, the continental breakfast selection was more like a "European style" --full on menu (i.e.,beverages- juices, teas, coffee, espresso, hot entree with assortment of breads, pastries, spreads, fruits, cold entrees, etc.). The food was excellent. The quality of the food and beverages were exceptional! The morning dining room staff were professional and courteous and not intrusive to guests while dining. but, if you needed to order an item from the dine in menu the staff was there to take your order and worked efficiently. The dining room was clean and setup lovely. The staff always kept the food area replenished and very clean! We also enjoyed the 24 hour availably for in room dining. My husband and I will definitely be returning soon to stay at Hotel Drisco. The 24 hour parlor room service with hot and cold beverages with light snacks was a welcome treat especially the biscotti! Nice to come back to the Hotel and relax in the parlor room with a beverage and have a snack. The selection of quality teas were very nice. All the Hotel Drisco staff from bell men, front desk, dining room and housekeeping were professional and courteous especially, Tanjay! Our room was clean and very comfortable...housekeeping staff always kept our room very clean...like the bed and bath linens too!

The rooms were lovely and clean, and had a lot more character than your standard hotel. The staff were exceptionally helpful and accommodating, including letting us use the hotel facilities after checking out on the day we departed, as our flight was late in the evening. Breakfast and evening drinks/nibbles were served next door at the White Swan Inn.

    The room is super well designed. Clearly the interior designer knows what it takes to be a good design hotel and a good hotel all together. I enjoyed their little details and the room amenities plus what they provide for no any extra charge. The staff was super helpful and kind. The location is great. Quite a bit of a walk from the train station but there are shops along the route so you won't get bored.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel. The first room given was by the lift and I had requested a quiet option. I was given a different room which I think was in a higher rate category. The robes are lovely and the beds heavenly.
