You find out only after booking that breakfast starts at 8am. The hotel ignored my email asking if there was an alternative for commuters. You have to wait at a bar until everyone is served to check in (drink people were barging past me). The room was nice but the unclear info on their advert and lack of communication undermines this.

Lovely bar / hotel that we have stayed in before however the room let the stay down completely. Definitely not a 'deluxe' room, very basic and awful generator noise from 8am - 10pm Bed very uncomfortable and lumpy
