The property itself was very good, but I would have appreciated it being made clear that breakfast was not included.

Jessica

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was really bright and airy and my bed & pillows were very comfy. The bathroom was very clean, but in my whole 3 nights there I couldn’t find an ambient temperature for the shower - only very hot or very cold. This was very frustrating! Additionally the room didn’t have a safe and the hotel only provides cover up to £50 in the case of theft etc, and there wasn’t a door sign to ask the cleaner/housekeeper to not come in. This meant that you had to take all your valuables everywhere with you, which isn’t always viable. Would be a lot better with a safe and with the option of asking for / not for housekeeping.
