Excellent hotel, with very helpful staff who went out of their way to make it feel like a 5-star experience. Rooms and bathrooms are a bit small and if you’re in a smaller room, there is no desk so you have to use a small round coffee table. There is a lunge downstairs but not always ideal. Gym inside which is well equipped and convenient and the location is great. The only downside is that breakfast starts at 32GBP for toast and coffee, and anything more is 40GBP. Would be nice if they had a more reasonable continental option for say 20GBP or a coffee bar, but it’s a small thing.
