The entrance was funky! Very cool, the staff were great and fixed our beds for us when we ordered the wrong room while we were out! Room was great for one night - bathroom was way too small for our family, it’s the size of a pantry (a very small one). Oh and you can hear the above room walking around like elephants.

Good value, and relatively good location being proximate to the airport bus shuttle. My room was relatively small though, and had a strange smell to it.

Rooms had everything I needed, good location in the city with access to great transport options. Was woken early by heavy feet in the room above but wouldn’t put me off staying again.

Loved the big room with high ceilings Bed was fantastic but a king size is two mattress pushed together. Big warning to large people : I couldn’t use the shower because the shower door wasn’t wide enough, this is clearly not standard building practice because I’ve never had this problem in any other hotel bathroom.

The courtyard property is falsely advertised. We have stayed here before and the courtyard was fantastic. What we got was a 10sq metre yard and the room wasn’t much bigger this time. Rude at the front desk when I had booked the courtyard suite but was told I hadn’t. Will stay here again as clean and central but will make sure I request the room that isn’t a shoebox!
