Really lovely and clean room. Friendly staff! We loved it here and highly recommend. The reception is lively at night, like a nightclub, but we couldn’t hear it from our room so no complaints.

food in the restaurant was average but the customer service was excellent. our coffee machine didn't work so i asked reception for some sachets instead but they didn't arrive. my husband got trapped in the bathroom as the door came off the roller/runner as he shut it, luckily |I forgot my headphones so came back to the room and managed to hook the door back on....if this had been a solo traveller they could have been stuck until the maid came in the next day... it may be an idea to put the phone in the bathroom!

Absolutely loved this hotel, already want to return. Room was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. The rooftop bar is lovely and the views are brilliant. Great place to base yourself, a small walk to the main streets and a very luxurious and comfy hotel.

Staff were great, hotel is really nice it’s in a great location to walk into the city and far enough out too not be loud etc at night. Our only issue was there was works being undertaken on the railway line behind the hotel and we had to change room, the staff were great about this
