I rarely ever give a poor review, but for this one I need to. Floor dirty (so much so my daughter’s feet turned black walking on it); filthy bathroom door, sink tap that flooded counter when turned on, unsecure wifi and to top it off cleaning lady walked into our room in morning without knocking.

Clean room and laid out well. Very warm overnight even in January! 2 fans supplied which was great but still stuffy. Construction works went on until 8pm but quiet after that. Great for what we needed as early Eurostar journey!
