The room was not very spacious but was satisfying overall, very clean, well furnished, the bed was comfortable and the surroundings weren't noisy. The location is perfect, staff was friendly overall. One thing to note is the 100£ deposit at the check in, which is not a standard procedure for hotels, especially not 4 star hotels.
