Nice room. Great location. Strong breakfast selection. Decent bar. Just a bit of a faff to get to the room - the corridors are a bit mazelike!

Stayed for one night , was ideal close to shopping and bars. The hotels bed itself was ok but the pillows were paper thin and the bed was on wheels so you could feel yourself moving whilst leaning against the headboard but apart from this we had a peasant stay

Good overall. Toilet seat was not ideally cleaned when we came. TV channels’ quality not great. I also found it surprising that slippers/robes were not available in rooms for free, but one of the staff members was kind enough to give me slippers for free.
