"Really good hotel. Well postioned in the City for getting around all attractions and transport links. Good room, spacious, plenty of light and really clean. Reception staff very helpful and welcoming. The only negative for me was, despite being several floors up, I was kept awake by loud music until early hours from the bars across the street. Not sure if the rooms at the back of the hotel would be quieter. I would say if you stay here bring some ear plugs. Shame because the hotel itself is very good."
