great location friendly staff comfortable bed hot room stuffy room unusable safe
The location was great. It was easy to walk to many places from the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly to us. The bed in the room was big and comfortable.
Our room was VERY hot. It was also very stuffy when we arrived. The safe was not usable in the room because of the cupboard doors. The door could not open properly.

Really good Hotel Experience

spacious room helpful staff
I found my room very spacious. It featured a comfortable bed, along with tea and coffee making facilities. The staff were friendly and offered helpful local guidance. Breakfast service was delicious. The location was fantastic, offering convenient access to bars and restaurants. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. I requested additional mugs and they were promptly brought to my room. The location is very close to various bars and restaurants.
The lifts were very busy during peak times. I found myself waiting longer than expected in the mornings and evenings. This delay was quite inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry.

The check-in was at 3 pm, but i arrived before 11 am. they had a room ready for me! i could freshen up before exploring. the hotel restaurant was really nice. The staff was amazing!!!
the room had designer toiletries advertised, but there were only two bottles of 3-in-1 stuck to the wall. the elevators were so slow! cleanliness in parts of the room left a lot to be desired, honestly.
