My third time staying here… love the hotel. Now they state snacks free….The refrigerator had one candy bar and a cracker type snack . I had to tell them to replace the water, which they did… but for the cost of the room, they were cheap.

Pervz was wonderful! He was a complete gentleman and helped us not only with our bags but feel comfortable right away! We appreciated his attentiveness and willingness to help us without even having to ask. Yulia checked us in and was also a delight! We were able to check in a bit early and she told us all we needed to know about the hotel. Mohit delivered my room service and he was very kind. He confirmed my meal was gluten free and reassured me everything was safe to eat. We had a number of people also help us throughout our short stay, and they were wonderful too. Overall, amenities and location were perfect but the staff made our stay incredible! Can’t wait to go back! Thank you!

Check in was ok - friendly enough staff but they had booked my friend and i into a double room when i had booked a twin. They offered a king size as an upgrade but we wanted separate beds. So then had to wait while they tried to find a room. Eventually got a twin but it had frosted windows so we couldnt see out.

Clean spacious room, really good shower. Good amenities, nice large fluffy towels. Nice bathrobes and slippers. Coffee pod machine and shortbread, also free popcorn and a chocolate bar, plus water and soft drinks. We did not get information on breakfast times if we desired. Nor did we receive a room upgrade and didnot receive the 20% off foodd.

Lovely well appointed room with comfy bed. The only downside was ventilation - no fan in bathroom and no view from window (facing a brick wall) which made getting natural light a problem.
