Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Although I was given a Club room, with coffee machine, bottled water and fridge, the room was very noisy. The mattresses and pillows were poor quality, so sleeping was a challenge. The TV did not work and I was informed that there was an issue with the antennas affecting the entire hotel. Overall a very disappointing stay & I won't be returning.

Great location and clean room. Mattress was super hard. Despite requesting an early check-in several times, upon arrival there was no room ready for me. Complete lack of hospitality upon arrival. I had to really advocate for what I needed. Personally, I wouldn't stay here again, but it was clean and in a great location, so Im sure if I had encountered nicer staff I'd enjoy coming back.

Simple problem of a faulty TV made challenging by inexperienced staff and no manager. Glossy pictures not reflected in facilities. Kind but ill equipped staff working. Didn’t match expectation and thus only stayed 1hour before checking out and booking elsewhere. No refund given

Upon arrival I was given a room without power…..seriously. They then wouldn’t move me because the hotel was fully booked - it really didn’t look like it. In the end I had to change hotel, and they have refused to refund. I usually go across the road to Central Park but this week it was slightly more expensive - I wish I had just stuck with them. Honestly, in 2026 - expecting a guest to have a room with no power, it beggars belief.

I mainly chose this hotel for its excellent location, which didn't disappoint. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. However, I had some issues with the room key card; it failed to work several times, and I had to get it fixed at the reception 4-5 times during my stay. Aside from that, everything was great.
