Great hotel - amazing staff, modern, clean and perfect location.
Room was very clean, staff were very polite and helpful at all times. Even simple things like free bottled water make a nice change from other hotels. Excellent location.
Great Hotel, stayed for two nights for business. Modern, comfortable rooms, great staff.
Only downside was cleaners repeatedly knocking on my door at 9am on my check out day, asking when I will be checking out. Not how I want to be woken up, three hours before check out.
Such a clean a well kept hotel, feels very luxurious and all the staff are fantastically presented, very welcoming and after staying here numerous times over the years they are quick to recognise you and have time for a friendly chat. Rooms are beautiful and the little bar with the shaker is such a nice touch. Would really recommend staying here!
