Great rooms for a great price. Central to everything. Lifts take a very long time and are quite run down as is the rest of the lobby - however the rooms are nice. Being central to everything is great, however it also means it's quite noisy and loud. Wouldn't recommend for a family but okay for a couple or friends attending something nearby.

Roof top bar was very loud! Reception staff did their best offering ear plugs and to move room. No sure moving would have helped… Should be aware if booking the bar is a popular spot. Also disappointed the pool was closed for construction but we didn’t get any warning when booking. Otherwise good location and friendly staff.
