The hotel itself is beautiful but I found the check in and out process very long and frustrating. I had to provide photo ID and pay £100 to check in. The room was nice but very small for £284. Took ages to get served in the bar aswell. The door in the bathroom made a very loud noise and I had to list every item i consumed from the room when I left.

The room was well appointed and clean. My room however was across the road in another building which meant I had to cross in the pouring rain to get to my room or back to the main hotel building to use any amenities or reception. Additionally, there was a construction site directly outside my window which was both noisy and detracted from privacy.

Amazing view, terrace was well-kept and clean. The lighting modes (especially the mood lighting setting) was superb. The bathroom was clean and had a luxurious and modern look to it. The automated curtains and complimentary glass bottles of water were a fantastic touch to the experience. The rooftop bar and other lounges were posh and had a good vibe. The location was near to the train station and the downtown area, not too far from the various tourist attractions.

The hotel room and staff were excellent — everyone was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, breakfast for my husband was disappointing. He ordered scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, but it first arrived on bread that hadn’t been toasted. The waitress was lovely and took it back, but when it returned the toast was burned and there was no butter. It felt like the chef was annoyed at the feedback, which isn’t what you expect, especially with breakfast costing £30.
