Good hotel, good staff, don’t have breakfast.

Very nice stay - room aircon wasn’t working initially but moved to an alternative instead and all was well. Credit to Martin on reception for his helpfulness. Wouldn’t bother with the breakfast though - not worth it at all for the price, just a croissant and jam. Many better options locally.

Excellent, friendly hotel - great location.

This hotel boasts fantastic, friendly service. A delightful check-in experience which included a glass of prosecco. The room was large and comfortable. I'd suggest two improvements - the room had large glass windows at a 45 degree angle. This means that the blinds only blocked out about 70% of the sun. The bed is directly under the windows meaning that as soon as the sun came up, the sun was shining directly on me, with no way of blocking it. Fortunately, I carry and eye mask! Secondly, the working desk didn't have a chair, which seems an odd omission.

The room and bathroom were gorgeous but needed more attention to cleanliness. We found items from a previous guest in the room during our stay. We mentioned the cleanliness to the front desk staff and the staff immediately came up to clean it.

2 Nights. 7/10

Its always been nice staying here the last handful of times. Unfortunately this time there was some suspicious stains on one of the covers, and despite paying for late checkout (1pm) we got woken up early both days we stayed, the first time by someone trying to come into the room. We understand mistakes happen though. And normally theres no problems at all. So we're still pleased with the venue.

The hotel is great. That said, the location is a double edged sword. It is in the heart of the gay district, which is amazing as it’s alive and buzzing with people. With that comes late night clubbing and the music coming through the building is incredibly disruptive. We didn’t get to sleep until 4 AM due to the noise from the nearby nightclubs.Book with caution!
