Room was comfortable and clean, however the shower was dangerously small and slippery. Also the step into the shower and also into the room itself maybe should be marked as I almost fell. The price of the parking was a bit over the top, ut we did appreciate that we had safe parking. Otherwise, we had a nice stay. Thank you

The lady who was working at check in at 7pm on Saturday night was amazing. We had 2 room bookings, required 2 car park accesses. She served us, plus 2 other groups of people at the same time as juggling phone calls. Absolutely lovely and brilliant at her job. The room was spotless. Could not have been cleaner. Brilliant location. Very comfy beds. Will definitely be back. Thanks heaps.

The hotel was fine just very expensive for what it was (£200 a night). However, understandable as F1 GP was in town which we hadnt realised when booking. Reasonable location 5 minutes walk from tram which took 15 mins to centre. Turn left and left again out of front door for vibrant dining areas

This is the 1st time I've stayed here & I was very impressed & very convenient to Lygan St restaurants. Rooms were presented beautifully, so clean & fresh. Morning cleaners were friendly & when I've been out & returned back to my room it was all nice & tidy. Shannon at the desk was great, he always greeted me when I was going out or returning, he was genuinely interested in where I'd been for the day. Pool was great to swim in everyday, however the tiles of the pool needs to scrubed as there is built up scum on the top few rows.
