The room was clean- unfortunately the first night we were put on 2 single beds made up as a double but no solid base so it was uncomfortable, but as soon as we raised it with Alex on reception it was sorted and we ended up in a newly refurbished room- which are really lovely! The bar area and lobby is good, and breakfast was superb. Again all staff helpful and accommodating. Pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub all great- busy when we went at lunch time but could still get on everything. Ice and water dispensers on every floor a good touch. Based on the stay once we got in the second room we would definitely stay again.
Old style room- clean and comfy- only moved due to bed mix up
Newly refurbished room- fresh, stylish and comfy

We didn’t have breakfast here so I can’t comment on that. I chose this hotel as a treat rather than a budget hotel option for myself and my fiancé for a night away. I was disappointed with the room- it was very tired looking and dated. Stains/marks on the carpet and curtains and the room itself just wasn’t particularly modern looking. I slept badly as the air conditioning didn’t seem to work properly and the pillows were awful with no extras available. I wished we’d chosen a budget option instead. The only things that were good were the actual lobby area looks lovely and the staff within it were polite and helpful. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to stay here
